The court is divided into two equal areas by a net suspended from two net posts by a cord or metal cable. The net stands 1.07m tall when fully stretched, filling the space between the two net posts. The net is 0.914m high in the middle, where it is carefully held down by a white strap. The cord or metal cable, as well as the top of the net, are covered by a white band.
The net posts on each side of the doubles court are 0.914m outside the doubles court for doubles matches.
The net posts on each side of the singles court are 0.914m outside the singles court during singles matches.
The recommended height from the court surface to the ceiling for indoor courts is 9.14m measured at the net.
The baselines at the end of the court are called baselines, and the sidelines are called sidelines. The baseline might be as wide as 10cm.
The service lines are two parallel lines between the singles sidelines, 6.40m from each side of the net.
The region between the service line and the net on each side of the net is divided into two equal pieces called the service courts. The central service line, which runs parallel to the singles sidelines and halfway between them, divides the service courts. The service line in the center is 5cm broad.
The width of all other lines on the court is between 2.5cm and 5cm. All court measurements are taken on the outside of the lines and are the same color, which contrasts with the surface color.
