What are the dimensions of a paddle tennis court?

Paddle tennis, also known as padel tennis, is a unique sport that combines the characteristics of tennis and squash. There are strict standards for the size of its court to ensure fairness and viewing quality. The following are the standard dimensions of paddle tennis courts and their related details:

I. Singles paddle tennis court dimensions

Length: 20 meters

Width: 6 meters

Diagonal: 20.88 meters

II. Doubles paddle tennis court dimensions

Length: 20 meters

Width: 10 meters

Diagonal: 22.36 meters

III. Other key specifications of the venue

Surface:

Flatness requirements: Measured with a 2-meter ruler, the depression at any position on the surface of the venue shall not exceed 3 mm to ensure that the ball rolls evenly on the venue.

Fence:

Height and structure: The venue is completely enclosed by a fence. The height of the venue on the end line side is 4 meters, of which the height from the ground to the wall is 3 meters, and above the wall is a 1-meter-high metal fence to provide sufficient safety and viewing angles.

Sideline fence:

Special structure: The field on one side of the sideline consists of two parts: the wall and the metal fence. The two ends of the sideline fence are non-step tempered glass walls with a height of 3 meters and a width of 4 meters; the other areas are metal fences. The walls at both ends of the end face are equipped with a 2-meter-wide metal fence with a top height of 4 meters.

Space above the court:

Clearance requirements: The clearance height of the upper space of the court shall not be less than 6 meters. It is recommended that the clearance height of the newly built court shall not be less than 8 meters to ensure that there are no obstacles that interfere with the flight trajectory of the ball during the game.

IV. Size error and flexibility

Allowable error: According to relevant regulations, the size of the paddle tennis court is allowed to have an error of 0.5% to adapt to the actual situation of different venue construction.

Flexibility: Although the standard size provides clear specifications, in actual construction, it can be appropriately adjusted according to the site conditions and usage requirements, provided that the fairness and safety of the game are ensured.

V. Summary

The standard size of the paddle tennis court is an important factor in ensuring the smooth progress and viewing of the game. Whether it is singles or doubles, there are clear size requirements. In addition, the flatness of the venue, the height and structure of the fence, and the clearance requirements of the upper space are also key factors that need to be considered during the design. These standards not only provide a fair competitive environment for athletes, but also bring a better viewing experience to the audience.
