| Sport | Court size | Singles width | Net at centre | Governing body |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pickleball | 44 × 20 ft · 13.41 × 6.10 m | Same as doubles | 34 in · 0.86 m | USA Pickleball |
| Padel | 20 × 10 m · ≈ 65′07″ × 32′10″ | Same as doubles | 0.88 m · ≈ 2′10½″ | FIP |
| Tennis | 78 × 36 ft · 23.77 × 10.97 m | 27 ft · 8.23 m | 3 ft · 0.914 m | ITF |

Tennis, by a distance: 23.77 by 10.97 m of playing lines. Padel is next at 20 by 10 m, then badminton at 13.40 by 6.10 m and pickleball at 13.41 by 6.10 m — badminton and pickleball courts are within a centimetre of each other in both directions.
Very nearly. A badminton court is 13.40 m by 6.10 m; a pickleball court is 13.41 m (44 ft) by 6.10 m (20 ft). The lines inside them are completely different, and the nets are not comparable — badminton’s is 1.524 m at the centre, pickleball’s is 0.86 m — but the outer rectangle is effectively identical, which is why gyms can stripe both on one floor.
Padel, at 0.88 m in the centre. Pickleball is 0.86 m at the centre but 0.91 m at the sidelines, tennis is 0.914 m at the centre, and badminton is far higher at 1.524 m.
Each sport’s page cites the governing body document the figures were read from: the USA Pickleball Official Rulebook, the BWF Laws of Badminton, the FIP Rules of Padel and the ITF Rules of Tennis. Anything we worked out by arithmetic rather than reading it directly is labelled as derived.
