What are the dimensions of a tennis court?In: Tennis

A net is stretched across the full width of the court, parallel with the baselines, dividing it into two equal ends. The net is 3 feet 6 inches (1.07 m) high at the posts, and 3 feet (914 mm) high in the center. The mesh ("holes") of the net may be of any shape, but must be small enough to prevent a tennis ball from going through the net. Since the ball is approximately 2-1/2" wide, the mesh must be smaller than that.
The court on the right side of each player is called the deuce court, while the left side is called the ad court.
The area need for a tennis court is 120' by 60' oriented north-south. A narrow court can be 120' - 55'.
The lines are typically 1"-2" wide, but the baselines may be up to 4" wide. All lines must be within the court boundaries (i.e., the outermost edge of the line must be within the court).
