The difference between badminton singles and doubles courts is mainly reflected in the size of the court, the position of the sidelines and end lines, and the tee area. These differences have important implications for the tactics, tempo and spectacle of the game.
First of all, the range of singles courts is smaller than that of doubles. This is because there is only one player in a singles match, and if the field is too large, it will increase the number of vacancies, thus making the game less enjoyable to watch and difficult to defend. The doubles court is relatively large to accommodate two players for both defense and offense.
Secondly, singles and doubles have different sidelines and ends. In terms of sidelines, the boundaries of singles are the inside line, while the boundaries of doubles are the outside lines. In terms of end lines, the boundaries of singles and doubles are both outside lines. This setup makes a difference between singles and doubles in terms of court utilization and tactics.
Furthermore, the tee area is also different in singles and doubles. The tee area in singles is relatively easy to understand, as long as it is behind the service line and within the singles area. The service area of doubles is limited, and the back service line is the second line in the baseline, so the serve of doubles is far beyond this line, and if it is exceeded, it is out of bounds. This is also the reason why most of the doubles use the serve ball, and if you are not careful to steal the backcourt, there is a risk of going out of bounds.
These site differences are set up in the following senses:
Reflect the fairness of the match: Ensure that the singles and doubles matches are fair by adjusting the size of the court and the position of the sidelines, so that both formats can be played on a level playing field.
Emphasizing tactical differences: Singles and doubles differ in terms of court utilization and tactics, and this setup helps to highlight the tactical characteristics of the two formats of the game and increase the spectacle of the game.
Adapting to different tournament needs: Singles and doubles matches differ in terms of tempo, defense and offense, so the court setup needs to be adjusted accordingly to suit the needs of different matches.
