Tennis tournaments and GreenSet®
1976 GreenSet® developed a type of mobile tennis court especially for exhibitions and tournaments for both indoor and outdoor named GreenSet® Grand Prix Tournament. The first court was installed for an exhibition in Austria (Natase, Okker and Kary). The satisfaction expressed by the players was such that these courts quickly became the most used surfaces in the professional circuit.
1982 GreenSet® developed a product especially for tournaments: Mobile Tournament Court (MTC), a mobile indoor court. This product has been improved over the years, especially the formula for the product, obtaining a finer and more comfortable texture. This has lead to the fact that the players themselves are showing their preference for this surface. This is also evidenced by the ATP Masters, which has been played on GreenSet® since 30 years ago.
1989 In order to compete with the Supreme court, GreenSet® developed the Trophy® surface, which is also a prefabricated PVC carpet. Launched in 1989, it meant a considerable  improvement to its direct competitor, and became the most used area of the ATP tournament from 1990 until 1997.
Hoy MTC GreenSet® is by far the most used area in the world circuit of the ATP indoor. Since 1976, more than 500 tournaments in the professional tennis circuit have been played on GreenSet® surfaces.
