Tennis is a skill that you need to master if you wish to enjoy the sport. This section will teach you the rules of Serving, Backhand, Forehand Volleys, and Scoring. Learn about how winning rallies earns you points. Whether you play singles or doubles, knowing how to play tennis correctly is essential.
Serving guidelines
To start a point, the server must stand behind the baseline on the right hand side of the court. He or she then attempts to place the ball into the other side of the court by serving into the service box on the left hand side of the court. This process alternates between serving the right and left sides of the centre line. He or she may miss a serve.
Servers must allow the ball for it to bounce properly in order to serve them correctly. Failing to allow the ball bouncing is called a fault. The server may catch the ball or stop it being served. The server must allow the ball's bounce to occur before it hits the ground. If the ball touches the net or body of the recipient before landing, it is called a second serve. The second serve is taken by the recipient immediately.
Points earned by winning rallies
Tennis players score points when they win a rally. A winning rally is defined by a higher score than a losing rally, or if there are no unforced errors. Additionally, rallies that finish at the net are more time-consuming than those that finish on the baseline. A winning rally can last as long as eleven points.
Rally is a game in which five balls are hit simultaneously by a player. For every five balls thrown during the set, the winning team wins one point. The set is won by whoever scores the most points. Points are awarded for every ball that a player hits during a rally. A player can have unlimited rallies in one set.
Volleys for the backhand and forehand
Watching your lower body movements is the first step to learning how to play forehand and backhand voleys. Before hitting the ball the player must ensure that their hips face the net. Before hitting the ball, the player should take a step left or right to balance his body.
When playing a backhand volley, the player should position the racquet behind the ball path and have a slight downward trajectory. If you use a continental grip, the shot will feel more like a hammer striking something. It is also important to keep the elbow and wrist aligned when playing a backhand volley. This will help to avoid the player hitting the ball too quickly and give the opponent enough time to return the ball.
Scoring singles and in doubles
Doubles and singles games are very similar. Both games use the exact same scoring system. The receiving team serves from left court and the serving team serves from right. The point is awarded to the receiving team if the serving side commits a foul.
Singles or doubles are allowed to play for up 15 points. A tiebreaker sees the winner scoring five points while the loser scores three. The tiebreaker should take place before delivery of the next service.
Protecting yourself against a Let
It is important to defend against a let in tennis. This rule states that the server must hit the ball before the receiver can react. This call is made by the umpire and you must be available at all times to receive the service. If you aren't ready, the umpire may announce the let.
Lets can be either deliberate or accidental. Lets can happen during service or rallies. When it happens during a tennis match, a player can be penalized by the umpire by indicating that the ball was let in. Let calls are not common in professional tennis as it tries to reduce distractions. However, let calls are quite common in recreational tennis.
