Better you apply the math to the total sq. ft. of the court.
Certainly factors such as absorbency; etc. will be part of the eventual equation; but assume that 1 gallon (US) often states on the label, that coverage is approximate. It could cover as little as 300 sq. ft, or as much as 400...plus or minus in any case.
Figure the size (you're using Meters) in a conversion of approx. 44 inches to a Meter, and do that math to find the total sq. meters of the court, then divide that figure by what one gallon (US) would cover,,,and/or convert gallons to Litres.
To cover a single sq. meter, might only take ounces; but that isn't the best way to determine total amount needed.

This can vary from one type of paint to another. It is usually writeen on the can. Also, the type o material you are painting should be taken into consideration.
I suggest a visit to a shop and check various cans of paint
