  2. Do you know her? She is the world class player and earns the most among all female players.

  3. Tennis is a very popular game, played on a court between two players (singles) or four players (doubles).

  4. The aim of each player is to hit the ball over the net into an area of the opponent’s court from where it is impossible to return it, or force your opponent to make an error.

  5. The Court • Tennis is played on courts made of a variety of surfaces. • They include lawn, clay, asphalt and synthetic court surfaces. • The court is divided in half by the net, which is three feet (one meter) in height.

  6. Size of the court: 23.8m x 11m Net: Held over two posts, which must be 1.7m tall and positioned 91 cm outside the centre of the double side lines

  7. The Racquet It must not exceed 32 inches (81.3cm) in length and 12.5 inches (31.8cm) in width, but it can be of any weight or shape. Suitable grip size is ranged from 4 to inches. Choose a size and shape of grip that feels comfortable in your hand.

  8. Start of a Game Before play commences, a coin is tosses to decide who will serve. The player who loses the toss may choose which end he or she will defend.

  9. The Service lThe serve commences each point by serving from behind the baseline, on the right hand side of the baseline between the center mark and the singles sideline. lThe server must serve the ball into the service area diagonally opposite. lIf the ball hits the top of the net and then falls into the proper service area, a let is called, and the point is replayed.

  10. LIf the server is unsuccessful on his or her first attempt at service, fault is called. The server then has a second opportunity to serve. If this is also unsuccessful, double fault is called, and the receiver gains a point. • l Following each point, the server alternates between the right and left side of the baseline to serve.

  11. lThe server continues to serve until a game is completed. • lPlace the ball into the air by hand and strike the ball with his racket before it reaches the ground. If the server places the ball into the air but does not attempt a stroke then it is a let. If he attempts and misses the ball then it is a fault.

  12. Ball in Play – Rally A player must return the ball into his opponent’s court before it bounces twice. A let call is allowed in rally. No double touch (deliberate carry or catch) is allowed. If a player throws his racket and hits the ball, he loses point. The receiver has to wait for the bounce when the server serves the ball.

  13. The ball touches a player or anything he wears or carries (except racket) while the ball is in play, he loses the point. If player strikes the ball before it has crossed the net, he loses the point. No player is allowed to touch the net (hand, racket, anything of the body).

  14. Ball in and out of the Court Ball in right area of the court. The ball on the line counts as in court.

  15. Scoring Tennis is scored in terms of points, games, sets and matches. You receive a point when your opposition fails to return the ball correctly, or commits an error.

  16. To win a game, you must win at least four points: The first point is called ‘15’ The second point is called ‘30’ The third point is called ‘40’ The winning point is called ‘game’. A score of zero is called ‘love’. In all cases, the server’s score is called first.

  17. To win a set, you must win six games. If the set is tied at five all, you must gain a two-game advantage to win the set (e.g. 7 – 5). If the set is tied at six all, a 7-point tiebreak has to play.

  18. A typical game sequence • A services B receives Score • A wins 1st point 15 – love • B wins second point 15 – all • B wins third point 15 – 30 • B wins fourth point 15 – 40 • A wins fifth point 30 – 40 • A wins sixth point 40 – all (or deuce)

  19. At this stage, one player must gain a two-point advantage to win the game. • e.g. B wins seventh point B’s advantage • B wins eighth point B’s game

  20. Change of Ends Players alternate service after each game. In both doubles and singles, the order of service must be maintained. In both singles and doubles, the opposing players change ends of the court when the total of the games played in a particular set is an odd number, e.g. 1-0, 2-1, 2-3, 4-3, 6-6 and etc.

  21. No of Sets in a Match Men: 3 out of 5 Women: 2 out of 3
