A tennis court is a rectangular area where the game of tennis is played. It is divided by a net in the middle and can be made of different surfaces, such as grass, clay, or hard court. Each side has a service box and a baseline, where players stand to serve and return the ball. The dimensions of a standard court are 78 feet long and 36 feet wide for doubles matches. Players use a tennis racket to hit a tennis ball back and forth over the net, aiming to score points by making the ball land in the opponent's court. Courts can be found in parks, clubs, and professional venues, hosting everything from casual games to major tournaments like Wimbledon.
