Lawn tennis
 
In Spanish we have tennis sobre hierba y tennis en tierra batida in English we have lawn tennis, and tennis on a clay court, can we say clay court tennis?

Lawn tennis (also know as Grass court tennis) and Hardcourt tennis (concrete or asphalt) and Clay court tennis (crushed shale, stone or brick). (3 types)

I used to watch tennis matches when I was young, while I was still in Chile, so all of that was in Spanish.

Never heard the term Lawn Tennis, and I would have assumed to call it Tennis on a lawn court or something like that.

Just to confuse you, lawn tennis is played on a grass court.

Truly, why would I get confused? When I should've and I meant to write "grass court" :D
