Tennis Court

A tennis court is a flat rectangular surface where tennis matches take place, typically measuring 78 feet long and 27 feet wide for singles matches. It’s divided into two halves by a net in the middle, with service lines and baselines marking different play areas. The court can be made of various materials like grass, clay, or hard surface, each affecting the game’s speed and bounce. Players use rackets to hit a ball over the net, aiming to land it within the boundary lines to score points. The court’s lines and markings are essential for determining valid plays and scoring.
