There’s something inherently cinematic about a tennis court.

Perhaps it’s the geometry: crisp white lines, a perfectly stretched net and the rhythmic repetition of the court itself. Perhaps it’s the colour — the vivid green of a lawn court, the warm tones of clay, or the graphic contrast of hardcourt against surrounding gardens. Or perhaps it’s the lifestyle that comes with it: racquets in hand, sun on the shoulders, a little friendly competition and the unmistakable feeling of an Australian summer.

For photographers and filmmakers, tennis courts offer far more than a sporting backdrop. They can become the setting for fashion editorials, lifestyle campaigns, TVCs, film scenes, family stories, sportswear shoots and everything in between.

And the best part? You don’t necessarily need to hire a traditional tennis facility. Some of Australia’s most photogenic courts sit within private homes, coastal retreats, heritage estates and expansive country properties — giving production teams access to the court, as well as a much wider visual story.

From classic Queenslanders surrounded by greenery to grand Sydney estates and contemporary Mornington Peninsula retreats, here are some of our favourite tennis court locations across Australia.
