ABSTRACT:
A tennis net center strap is positioned over the center of a tennis net for anchoring to a mount in the playing surface of the tennis court. The strap is adjustable so that the height of the net may be set at 36 inches regardless of whether the mount for the tennis court surface is disposed above, below, or flush with the surface of the tennis court. An indicator mark is positioned 36 inches from one end of the strap. The other end of the strap is passed through a retaining ring and under the net and the strap is secured to the mount. Thereafter, the opposite end of the strap is secured to the 36 inch portion between the indicator mark and the first end of the net such that the indicator mark is atop the net and the first end of the strap just touches the ground thereby adjusting the net to an exact 36 inch height without the use of another measuring device. In this manner, the strap may be used on any tennis net at a court with a mount so as to adjust the height of the tennis net to 36 inches without the use of external measuring devices and regardless of the height of the mount above or below the surface of the tennis court.
