Question

What is the name of the area between the singles and doubles sidelines?

Answer 1

The area between the singles and doubles sidelines is called the "tramlines" or "alleys". They are used in doubles matches and are considered in bounds for serving and returning. In singles matches, the tramlines are not used, and the ball must land within the singles sidelines to be considered in bounds.

Answer 2

The name of the area between the singles and doubles sidelines is called the alley. It is wider in doubles matches to accommodate the two players serving and returning from opposite sides of the court. The singles sideline marks the outermost limit of the alley.
