A singles court is 27 feet wide while a doubles court is 36 feet wide because of two 4 and 1/2 feet alleys. The net is three feet tall at the center and gradually increases in height until it becomes three and a half feet high at the two net posts. <ref>http://silverfoxtennis.com/TennisQuiz_files/frame.htm</ref>
