For the second point, the other partner will receive and this rotation will happen for the rest of the game and the set. When the other team receives serve in the second game this same pattern will happen; the team decides who receives first and who receives second and this rotation will happen for the rest of the game and the set.
Bear in mind that after the receiver has returned the ball, either player can hit the ball. In competitive play, one player of a doubles team is not allowed to play alone against opponents. Doubles: The team that is due to serve in the 1 st game of each set decides which player will serve for that game.
In the second game of each set the opponents get to decide which player will serve first. The partner of the player who served in the 1 st game then serves in the 3 rd game.
The partner of the player who served in the 2 nd game then serves in the 4 th game and this rotation continues until the end of the set. If the first serve is a fault, the server must serve again without delay from behind the same half of the court from which that fault was served, unless the serve was from the wrong half. The serve is a let if: The served ball touches the net, strap or band, and lands in the correct court.
The ball is served when the receiver is not ready. You may want to force them to play a backhand, thus receiving a weaker return, but if you can't consistently get the ball in when you aim for that part of the court, is it worth losing a serve for? This is where your first and second serves come in. You get two chances to get your serve in, so you can take more risks with your first attempt. The first serve is the time to have a go at playing to your opponent's weaker side, even if you are not so skilled at that direction of serve.
Alternatively, you can try to win the point in one shot with a serve that is more powerful and carries more slice more about this in t omorrow's guide. However, fault on your second serve and your opponent is given a point.
Because of this, second serves are typically more cautious. When serving, you can aim for three broad areas within the service box: out wide, into their body, or down the middle.
If you direct your serve to the outside of the court, you force your opponent to move out wide. This will open up space on the court for your return: if they can't get to the ball, you have "passed" them and you win the point.
Stay at the baseline once you have served, and remember to get into the ready position as quickly as possible. Although this sounds like a perfect tactic, the risk is that you give your opponent an angle from which they can hit a winning return. Avoid this by serving into their body: you won't open up any space on the court, but it will ensure their return won't be too far out of your reach.
Good serving is about keeping your opponent guessing, so hit some serves down the middle too: it will make your wide serves more effective. Another serving option is the serve-volley, an aggressive tactic that puts your opponent under pressure. Serve to the middle of the service box to avoid giving them an angle, then charge towards the net.
Once at the net, keep your knees bent and your eyes on the ball. Volley their return back at them, ideally to their weakest side. The serve is the one shot where you can put the ball exactly where you want it: in every other shot you are reacting to where your opponent has put it. It should be the easiest shot to play, but the act of throwing the ball up and coordinating your service motion is rather difficult.
In this article I would like to explain the basic tennis rules that one needs to know to play the game! In Tennis there is always one player serving. Two players are facing each other from the opposite side of the court and are playing against each other.
The net divides the court between the players. The server gets to start the point. According to tennis rules, the ball is allowed to bounce only once before you need to hit it back over the net. You are also allowed to take the ball out of the air though. This is called a volley! Tennis is played in points, games and sets.
For more information on the scoring system go over to the tennis scoring page! The ultimate goal in Tennis is always to get the ball over the net and into the area that you are allowed to hit into. Ideally you do that so well that your opponent cannot return the ball! The server starts behind the baseline on the deuce court and has two serves to get the ball into the service box on the other side of the net.
Once the ball is in play, the point is played until either someone misses a shot or hits a winner. A missed shot is a shot that either lands in the net, outside of the sidelines, or behind the baseline on the other side of the net. A winner is a shot that lands inside or on the line and the opponent cannot reach before it bounces twice.
