tennis court
Net-divided playing surface
A tennis court is the rectangular playing surface for tennis, divided by a net and marked with boundary lines for singles and doubles play.
Courts are surfaced with grass, clay, or hard materials, each affecting ball bounce and game speed.
We reserved a tennis court for Saturday morning.
