Tennis courts are an important part of any sports facility, so it is important to ensure that they are properly constructed. For tournament play, recreation and private tennis, the right court size is needed.
When planning a new tennis court, you should consider the following common measurements. Also, the size of the tennis court and the service area is very important.
Tennis Net Height:
A tennis net has a lower middle section than the sides. The net is lower in the middle to allow players to have more space to return the ball or hit it. The standard net height is three feet, but some players feel that four feet would be the perfect height for either a singles or a doubles net.
Net heights should be adjusted based on the size of each player. Some are small, while others are large. Also, it is important to take into account the amount and elevation of the sun in the area.
Tennis Net:
The tennis net consists of a rectangular space that spans across the middle of the court. It is 0.914 meters (3 feet) high at the center and 1.07 meters (3.5 feet) high at the posts. The cord or metal cables are used to secure the net. A band holds the cord down tightly by covering it.
Tennis Service Area:
The service area is a rectangular area on both sides of the net, bounded by the singles sidelines and the service lines. It is 21 feet long on each side of the net.
There is another line that runs between the service lines and the net, which divides the service area into two equal parts. It is called the central service line and is 21 foot wide on both sides.
Service Boxes
Each side of the court has two service boxes. A left and a rights, separated by a center service line. These boxes are 4.12 meters (13.5 feet) long and 1.83 meters (6 feet) wide.
Tennis Service Line:
The service line runs parallel to each sideline and is equidistant. These lines should be marked and are 21 feet in length on either side.
Tennis Singles Sideline:
Singles sideline is where the ball must land in singles tennis. The sideline of singles tennis is 13.5 foot on either side from the Center Mark, or the center service line, or the centre net. This is the line that is used in rallies. Any ball that falls wider than the centre service line or the net will be called out.
In both singles and in doubles, the singles sideline will be used. However, during rallies it is slightly different. In doubles, doubles lines are approximately 9 feet each on either side of the Centre Mark. This is the same line that is used for volleys.
