ATP tennis hosted several tournaments on carpet court before being replaced to reduce injuries.

The statement is true because carpet courts were found to increase the risk of injuries in tennis players. Carpet courts have a relatively fast surface that can cause players to slip and slide with less control, leading to a higher likelihood of sprains, strains, and other injuries. To reduce these injuries and ensure the safety of the players, carpet courts were gradually replaced with other types of playing surfaces, such as hard courts or grass courts, which offer better traction and stability for the players.
