What is Tennis court?
[[File:Tennis court imperial.svg|thumb|A tennis court.]] A '''tennis court''' is a court used to play [[tennis]]. It is a [[rectangle]] with a [[net]]{{dn|date=February 2025}} across the middle. During a tennis match there can be both one player (single) or two players (double) on both half. The surface can be [[grass]], [[Clay_court|clay]] or [[hardcourt]]. The dimensions are set as the standard for lawn tennis by the International Tennis Federation and written down in the 'Rules of Tennis' document. The Tennis court is 78 feet (23.77 meters) long. Its width is 27 feet (8.23 meters) for singles matches and 36 feet (10.97 meters) for doubles matches. The service line is 21 feet (6.40 meters) from the net. == Surfaces == '''Clay Court''' is primarily made with stone, brick and crushed shale. The tennis ball on the clay court has the interesting feature of digging into the dirt. The clay court is the cheapest court to construct but is also is the court that requires the most maintenance. The water content should be balanced and the courts have to be rolled often to maintain flattened form.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Tennis Court Resurfacing|url=https://tenniscourtresurfacing.uk/|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-10-27|website=Tennis Court Resurfacing|language=en-GB}}</ref> '''Grass Court'''s are the fastest courts. Before the open era most games were played in grass courts. Over time, the maintenance and cost have made it less popular. Grass courts are made by growing grass in hard packed soil. This can create many micro-variations in the surface type.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Oommen|first=Sujit|date=2018-12-07|title=All you need to know about the tennis court and its dimensions|url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/tennis/all-you-need-to-know-about-tennis-courts|access-date=2020-10-27|website=www.sportskeeda.com|language=en-us}}</ref> '''Carpet Court'''s are rollable court surfaces.
