Tennis Court Dimensions:
Overall Dimensions
The
overall size of a tennis doubles
court is 36 feet wide by 78 feet long.
The singles court is slightly narrower
measuring 27 feet wide. Both singles and
doubles courts share the same length.
The Service Court
The service court fits inside the singles
width of the court (27 feet wide) and extends
back from the net 21 feet. The service
court is divided in half with a center
line marking the left and right service
courts.
The Net
The net measures 3 feet 6 inches high at
the ends and 3 feet high at the middle
tape. Typically the net standards are placed
3 feet outside the outer lines of the doubles
court, making the net length a total of
42 feet from pole to pole.
Distance from other Courts and Fencing
It is adviseable to have a distance of
a 12 foot perimeter on each side of the
sidelines and 21 feet from each baseline
to create enough playing area inside fencing
and adjacent tennis courts.
