What is the difference between single and double in tennis?

In singles there are only two people playing head to head.

In doubles, four people are playing on teams of two.

In doubles, you must serve the ball diagonally to the opponent.

The same court is used for both, but:

• During singles the side tramlines are out at all times.
• During doubles the rear tramlines are out on the serve only.
