Tramlines

Written bySports Definitions Contributors Hours Last Updated on Categories Tennis

The parallel lines that run the length of the left and right-hand sides of the court. The outer line is the “doubles sideline” and the inner line is the “singles sideline”. The ball must not bounce within the tramlines during service or during run-of-play in a singles match. In a doubles match the ball may bounce within the tramlines but only during run-of-play.
