BNP Paribas Open Announces Laykold as Official Surface Provider

Laykold, the original hardcourt surface, is chosen by Tennis Paradise.

Laykold, a global leader in sports surfacing, has been named the Official Surface Provider of the BNP Paribas Open -- the largest combined ATP/WTA Tour event in the world. The partnership is set to begin for the 2025 BNP Paribas Open as Laykold will supply its cutting-edge, high-performance surface to all 29 courts at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

"Laykold’s commitment to court precision and consistency aligns perfectly with the BNP Paribas Open’s mission to provide an exceptional playing surface for players,” said Philippe Dore, BNP Paribas Open Chief Marketing Officer. "We are thrilled that the Indian Wells Tennis Garden will have not only a world-class playing surface for 2025, but also a partner that shares our commitment to ensuring sustainability.”

Cross-court and cross-continental consistency set to optimize player experience

Laykold surfaces are known for their pace precision and consistency, while also being the only surface brand to use recycled tennis balls in its court systems. Laykold’s courts deliver 10x greater consistency than the accepted industry standard. By fine-tuning court speed to within 0.5 points, Laykold’s scientists and expert installers will bring the highest standard of court consistency for players in Indian Wells this March.

"We are excited to be a part of the BNP Paribas Open," said Dave Wheaton, Laykold Director of Sales. "The Indian Wells Tennis Garden is one of the most iconic venues in tennis, and we are honored to provide our surface for such a prestigious event.”
