Tennis RULES

Hey guys this is Samuel and i am going to tell you about the rules of TENNIS :)

Rule 1
Players will stand opposite each other and opposite sides of the court. The player who serve the ball first will be called the server. The other player will be called the receiver.

Rule 2
The person who are chose to serve or receive will be determined by tossing of coin. Once the person is chosen the opponent chooses the side that he or she would want to start.




Rule 3
The server shall stand behind the baseline on the court within the boundaries of the singles court when playing singles and within the double sideline when playing doubles.

 

The server DO NOT serve until the receiver is ready. If the server misses his target twice, he LOSES a point.If the ball hits the net and goes in the correct service box, another serve is granted. If the server steps on the baseline before contact is made, the serve is deemed a fault.

Rule 4

The receiver is deemed ready if an attempt is made to return the server's ball. The receiver can stand where he like but he or she must let the ball bounce back in the service box. If the ball does not land in the service box,  it is deemed a fault and a second serve is given. If the ball is hit by either opponent before the ball bounces, the server wins the point.
