English to Italian: Australian Open Detailed field: Sports / Fitness / Recreation
Source text - English The two main courts used in the tournament are Rod Laver Arena and Hisense Arena and feature retractable roofs, which are shut during rain or extreme heat. The Australian Open and Wimbledon are the only Grand Slam tournaments with indoor play. In 2008, the Rebound Ace surface, which had been in place for the past 20 years at Melbourne Park, was replaced by a cushioned, medium-paced, acrylic surface known as Plexicushion Prestige. Roger Federer and Serena Williams are the only players to win the Australian Open on both Rebound Ace and Plexicushion Prestige. The main benefits of the new surface are better consistency and less retention of heat because of a thinner top layer. This change was accompanied by changes in the surfaces of all lead-up tournaments to the Australian Open. The change was controversial because of the new surface's similarity to DecoTurf, the surface used by the US Open.
Translation - Italian I due campi principali usati per il torneo sono la Rod Laver Arena e la Hisense Arena, entrambi provvisti di tetti mobili che vengono sfruttati in caso di pioggia o di eccessivo calore. L'Australian Open e Wimbledon sono gli unici tornei del Grande Slam in cui si gioca al coperto.
Nel 2008 la superficie Rebound Ace, utilizzata per 20 anni nel Melbourne Park, è stata sostituita dal Plexicushion Prestige, superficie ammortizzante, medio-veloce a base acrilica. Roger Federer e Serena Williams sono gli unici giocatori ad aver vinto l'Australian Open sia sul Rebound Ace che sul Plexicushion Prestige. I vantaggi principali della nuova superficie sono una miglior compattezza e minor ritenzione di calore grazie a uno strato superiore più sottile. Questa modifica ha portato al cambiamento delle superfici dei tornei che precedono l'Australian Open. Tale svolta è stata discussa a causa delle similitudini tra questa superficie e il DecoTurf, utilizzato per gli US Open.
