A padel court follows specific measurements so that gameplay remains consistent for both leisure and professional games. The accepted measure of the playing area is 20 meters long by 10 meters wide. This oblong region is bordered by walls or glass dividers, which are foundational elements in the way the game is played. To fit this court, you need a total area of at least 11 meters by 21 meters, including area along the sides.<\/p>\n
The big difference between singles and doubles padel courts <\/a><\/b><\/u><\/strong>is their width. Both share a 20-meter length, but doubles courts are 10 meters wide, while singles courts are only 6 meters wide. This changes how the game feels. The wider doubles court pushes players to work as a team and move side to side. The narrower singles court demands sharp accuracy and fast reactions.<\/p>\n Standard sizes ensure fair games and consistent ball bounces on every court. The enclosed walls let players bounce the ball off them during rallies, setting padel apart from regular tennis. The side walls and back glass panels aren\u2019t just borders\u2014they\u2019re part of the game. Players must use angles and control the ball strategically.<\/p>\n The court\u2019s main area splits into two halves with a net in the middle. Each half has service boxes marked by lines running parallel and perpendicular to the net.<\/p>\n The net runs across the court\u2019s width at its center. It stands about 88 cm tall in the middle and up to 92 cm at the posts. It divides the court into two service zones, making serves and returns organized.<\/p>\n Each half has two service boxes, marked by a central line running from the net to the back wall. Side walls, made of tempered glass or mesh fencing, allow legal ball rebounds. These rebounds are key for longer rallies.<\/p>\nWhy These Sizes Matter for Play<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n
