The distance between the sidelines and the sidestops is recommended to be 12 feet. Recreational Play The recommended measurements for recreational play are slightly shorter.

If the court is indoors the minimum recommended height of the ceiling should be 30 feet. Thank you for the useful info on your site. Can you tell me what the stndard length of a net should be.

If the posts are 3 feet outside of the doubles court lines how much is allowed for the static hook and winder spindle on either side. Great question! Nets made for singles and doubles play are 42 feet in length.

The width of a court including doubles alleys is 36 feet and the net posts are required to be placed 3 feet outside the doubles sideline. Recognizing this the net should extend right to the edge of each net post. I have a whole team n we train each an every day….. I love this question! Generally, courts should have a north to south orientation. However, there are two other key factors to take into consideration:.

The direction of the sun changes throughout the day and year. It also varies for locations further south or north of the equator. The key is to consider these three factors and then determine the best direction to optimize play by keeping the sun out of players eyes. Great resource. Is there an official way? How do you do it? For recreational use, the recommended minimum length is generally around A tennis court's total area size is approx Each of the various Tennis court materials have varying degrees of upfront costs vs performance vs ongoing maintenance requirements.

It's recommended to factor these into any decision of which type of tennis court to build:. Grass : Grass courts require by far the most maintenance. The grass must be kept very short, healthy and free of weeds. This means frequent watering, fertalising and mowing. Clay : Clay courts require less maintenance than grass. However, clay has the tendency to shift quite frequently, which requires raking or brushing back into place.

During times of high winds, some clay may be blown off the court entirely. All other lines on the court are between 2. All court measurements are made to the outside of the lines and are all the same colour, contrasting with the colour of the surface. As at 1 January all Tennis Australia sanctioned 10 and under competitions are played on approved smaller courts. Tennis Australia has three different court sizes for different age groups. There are a variety of temporary or permanent options for marking lines for the red and orange courts on full sized tennis courts.

A mix of diluted chalk paint can be used to mark the temporary lines on both artificial clay and grass surfaces. Lime may be used to temporarily line red and orange courts on natural grass surfaces, but is not suitable for artificial grass courts. Semi-permanent paint can be used on artificial clay and grass surfaces. The court is 16m long and for doubles matches, 8m wide and for singles matches, 4. The court is divided in the middle by a net suspended by a cord or metal cable attached to two net posts.

The net is fully extended and is 1. A band covered the cord or metal cable and the top of the net. The lines of the court are between 2. The lines at the ends of the courts are baselines and the lines at the sides are called side lines. The baseline is thicker to help with line calling I think. I guess it also helps on TV for viewers seeing the baseline in the distance. Good to know properly even for an armchair fan I used to play, though. Surprised that the sidelines could be different… I wonder if David Goffin got some compensations.

Poor guy. Thanks for the education anyway, Jonathan. The dimensions of the court outside the actual ball playing area matters a lot to few players. I remember Rafa complaining that the size of the court being not big in enough on the Central Court of Rome Masters was one of reasons for his loss to Thiem 2 years back?

May be wanted to reach the balls that were going to spectators? The whole thing is a farce. Anyone with half a brain knows she is correct. Only weird libtards or those scared of being accused of hate crimes seem to disagree.

Yes, I tried google. Thought perhaps this was the hint. Seems an unfair praxis, yes. A case for throughly investigation by competent scientists. Why waste money with a scientific investigation that will only prove what biology since the dawn of man kind has shown us?

A man who decides to be a woman and compete in sport is going to wipe the floor with females. There was a weight lifting one last week setting records galore. Easy answering. Sometimes people are born as girls, and other think they are men, and will take their results away. In such cases those accusations ought to be proved. Also,just come back from Madrid from a city break. More Art than tennis. But quite a few adverts for the Madrid tournament.

I have never seen a clay court tournament. Apart from RG can anybody recommend a clay court tournament.? For n indoor court, I see the heights posted along the length of the court, at the center and baseline. What should the height be at the sidelines in the centre of the court?
