When you tennis line markings  there are many different lines that indicate where a ball is allowed to land during a point. Whether it’s the baseline, single side line or service box, each of these tennis surface line markings serves an important purpose to ensure that players are within bounds during a rally or serve.

The baseline is one of the most fundamental tennis court markings, representing the furthest back a player can hit the ball during a point. When a ball bounces beyond the baseline, it is considered to be “out” and the opponent wins the point. For this reason, players must always begin each point with both feet behind the baseline, regardless of who is serving or receiving.

There are also several other important tennis court markings, including the doubles alley, which is a strip of the court between the singles and doubles sidelines. The doubles alley allows players to utilize the full width of the tennis court, challenging them to exhibit more accuracy and placement in their shots.

Additionally, the centre mark is a critical component to a successful serve, as it marks the center of the service box. Ideally, the server should stand at the intersection of the center mark and the service box, which gives them maximum court coverage when they serve.
