Corrected haha, but that's Spain Spanish, right?

Also, the workers at the club I belong to back in the states refer to the courts as "escors de tenis". Here in mexico they call 'em canchas.

I also think the term "acuderdos" or something similar is strings. That's what they use for the term here in Mexico.
