What Are the Tennis Court Boundaries?
Hi, my name is Maria Clark and today I am going to tell you the basics of playing tennis. First of all, you need to know the rules. Say for example, if you are serving from the right hand side of the tennis court you make sure that the ball is going to land right here, where I am at right now. If you hit it right here in the corner, well that is great because mostly it is so difficult to get that shot. Most of the time people would hit it right on the side and that is pretty easy to get and so if you are serving on the left hand side of course, it has to land on this side. If you are playing doubles, it is best to serve on the very corner of the tennis court and then you make sure the ball is going to land in this box. These two lines on both sides of the court are for doubles, if you are playing doubles. Of course, if you are playing singles, you cannot use these two double lines. Anything that hits outside this line is out.
