Talk:British Hard Court Championships

Hard Court versus Clay Court
This article, named "Hard Court", also incorporates clay court tournaments (1995, 1996).

In my opinion, these clay court editions should be split off into a separate article. This new article would probably be named "British Clay Court Championships".

Any opinions about that?

 * The confusion is understandable but the British Hard Court Championships was actually a clay court tournament. In the early decades of tennis the British and mainland Europeans traditionally referred to clay courts as "hard courts". What we now call hard courts didn't exist in Europe in those days and were first introduced in the Western United States, particularly California. See also World Hard Court Championships.--Wolbo (talk) 19:42, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Wolbo's correct. Bournemouth still and always has had Clay Court tournaments. 92.18.46.55 (talk) 20:12, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
