COURT AND SIZES
(LAWN TENNIS)
Four Main Types of
Tennis Courts
GRASS COURT
• Grass courts are far quicker and
have a much lower bounce
capacity.
• Rallies are typically much shorter
due to the quicker surface and
low bounce meaning players with
a who rely on their big serve as a
weapon typically benefits on a
grass court.
CLAY COURT
• Made from natural clay from the
ground.
• Clay courts effect how the ball spins
and is returned.
• Clay tennis courts favor players who
can play defense. Players preserve
more energy playing on a clay court
since they can slide into their shots
instead of coming to a complete stop.
HARD COURT
• Hard courts are often seen as
middle ground as they are
typically faster than clay courts
but slower than a grass court,
meaning players who prefer a
fast game will typically perform
better when playing on hard
court.
CARPET COURT
• "textile surface of woven or non-
woven nylon, or a polymeric or
rubber material, typically supplied in
rolls or sheets" and as a removable
surface. (International Tennis
Federation)
• It is one of the fastest court types
second only to grass courts.
 TENNIS COURT
DIMENSION,SIZE,
DIAGRAM
• Tennis court dimensions vary
depending on singles or doubles
play.
• Singles tennis uses the inner
sidelines for determining an out-
of-play shot and doubles tennis
utilizes the full court width out to
the outer, or doubles sidelines.
• Size of a tennis court:
• For singles is 78 feet by 27
feet.
• For doubles, 78 feet by 36 feet.
SINGLE MATCH COURT SIZE
• Single players use the narrower width
for the dimensions of a tennis court
for singles play (designated by the
inside singles sidelines). The court
length is the same for singles and
doubles matches. Court length: 78
feet (23.77 meters) long.
DOUBLE MATCH COURT SIZE
• Doubles match rules allow players to use
the full court width, all the way to the outer
doubles sidelines. The doubles court
extends 4.5 feet beyond each side of the
singles court sidelines. Court length: 78
feet (23.77 meters) long. Court width: 36
feet (10.97 meters) wide. At 36 ft wide,
there’s 9 more feet to cover compared to
the singles’ court.
 TENNIS NET SIZE
• The tennis net stretches across the width of the
court, dividing it equally. The net is attached to posts
on either side of the court. The center point of the
net is about 6 inches lower than its height at the
posts due to it’s weight. The net posts are located 3
feet (.91 meters) outside the sideline for both
singles and doubles matches.

• Tennis court net height at posts: 3 feet 6 inches

high (1.07 meters).
