Tennis is a skill that you need to master if you wish to enjoy the sport. Here, you will learn the rules for Serving, Backhand and Forehand volleys, and Scoring. Learn about how winning rallies earns you points. It doesn't matter if you play doubles or singles, it is important to know how to play tennis correctly.
Serving guidelines
To start a game, the server must place the ball behind the baseline at the right side. The server then attempts to place a ball on the opposite side of court by serving into a box on the left side. The process alternates between serving on the left and right sides of the centre line. It is either a double or a fault if he or she misses serving.
Serving the ball correctly requires that the server allows it to bounce. If the server fails to do this, the ball is called a "fault." A server may either stop a serve by catching the ball, or may serve belowhand. In either case, the server must let the ball bounce and hit it before he serves. 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 won in rallies
Points are awarded to a tennis player who wins a rally. A winning rally is defined by a higher score than a losing rally, or if there are no unforced errors. Rally ends that reach the net are also longer than those that hit the baseline. A rally that wins can last up to eleven points.
A rally is a set of five balls that a player hits. The winning team earns one point for every five balls hit during the set. The set is won when the player with more points wins. Points are awarded to each player who hits a ball in a rally. One player may have unlimited number of rallies.
Backhand and forehand volleys
The first step in learning how to play backhand and forehand voleys is to observe the lower body movements. Before hitting a ball, the player must make sure his or her hips face towards the net. The player must balance by taking a left and right step before hitting the ball.
When playing a backhand volley, the player should position the racquet behind the ball path and have a slight downward trajectory. A continental grip will give the shot the feel of a hammer striking some thing. When playing backhand volleys, it is important to align the elbow and wrist. This will prevent the player from hitting the ball too late and giving the opponent time to return it.
Singles and doubles scoring
Doubles and singles games are very similar. Both use the same scoring system. The serving team serves in the right service court while the receiving team serves in the left. When the serving team makes a fault, the serve is lost and the point goes to the other team.
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 must take place before the next service is delivered.
The defense of a let
Protecting against a tennis let is an important part. This rule states that if the serve is made by the server before the receiver, they have been "served." This decision is made by an umpire. To receive the serve, you need to be at your best. If you're not ready, the umpire will announce the let.
Lets could be planned or unintentional. A let can occur during rallies or service. If the ball is let in during a tennis match, the umpire may penalize the player by marking that it was. Professional tennis allows for let calls to be very rare, as it attempts to minimize distractions. However, let calls are quite common in recreational tennis.
