Tennis court dimensions
A tennis court has a rectangular shape, is 23,77 m long and 8,23 m wide for singles, and 10,97 m for doubles.
In addition to these dimensions, which represent the actual playing area, there are then added the field edges, i.e. the “Outs” essential to allow the players to move freely during the game.
Therefore, to the aforementioned dimensions of the field, approximately 3 to 5 metres must be added for the edges of the short side and between 5 and 8 metres for the long side.
Dimensions of the padel court
In padel, the playing area coincides with the dimensions of the court itself, without the need for margins on any side, since the ball can bounce off the perimeter walls.
Il standard padel court it is a rectangle 10 meters wide by 20 meters long, while the single padel court (a sport not officially recognized, but still highly appreciated by players) has the same length as a double pitch, but with a width reduced to 6 m.
Although different measures are used between indoor and outdoor, the minimum height for a padel court is approximately 3 m.
In short, in the same space needed for a tennis court, 2 double padel courts or 3 single padel courts could be installed.
