Inside the Athens Olympic Tennis Centre · OAKA

Stadion Sports Center is located at the Olympic Tennis Center facilities in Marousi and features a comprehensive racket sports setup: 18 tennis courts (including 4 indoor), 11 padel courts, and 3 pickleball lanes arranged around a central pavilion. The venue will host WTA matches on three designated courts, played on outdoor DecoTurf hard court surface — the same surface used at the US Open.

Surface

DecoTurf, medium-fast

Cushioned acrylic, the US Open spec. Medium-fast pace, predictable bounce. Players from grass adjust quickly; clay-court specialists need a day.
