    • Standard play area: 23.77 m x 10.97 m (for doubles).
    • Total area (with safety zone): approximately 36.6 m x 18.3 m.
  • Purpose of use: Professional, practice, recreational, etc.

 

2. Site Preparation

  • Site is cleaned, soil is compacted.
  • Slope is provided (0.5-1% slope) — for water drainage.
  • Drainage system is constructed (especially important for outdoor courts).

 

3. Foundation and Ground Construction

Court type

Foundation

Top layer

Natural grass (requires regular maintenance)

Synthetic grass court

Concrete/asphalt base

Synthetic grass (40–50 mm height)
