What are the rules of tennis serve? What are the three ways to serve in tennis

Serving Rules: Before Serving.

The server should stand in the area behind the end line, between the midpoint and the putative extension of the sideline, and toss the ball in any direction in the air with his hand before serving, hitting the ball with a racket before it touches the ground (players who can only use one hand can throw the ball with a racket). When the racket makes contact with the ball, the ball is sent.

On the serve. The server is not allowed to change the position of the original station by walking or running during the entire service action, and the two feet are only allowed to stand in the specified position and not touch other areas.

Playing the ball. 1) At the beginning of each game, serve from the end line of the right area, and after scoring or losing a point, you should switch to the left area to serve.

2) The ball should be sent over the net and into the square in front of the opponent's teeing area in the opposite corner, or on the line around it.

Error on serve. Missed ball; The ball is sent out and touches a fixed object before hitting the ground (except for the net, center belt and white cloth on the edge of the net); Violation of the service position rules. After the first service error of the server, the second serve should be made in the original position.

The serve is invalid. In the past, the rule was to wipe the net serve invalid and re-serve, but in 2013, the International Tennis Federation revised the rules, wiping the net no longer affects whether the serve is successful, and the ball is judged by the landing point after the ball wipes the net. If the ball goes into the net or falls outside the diagonal teeing area, the serve is wrong; or the opposing receiver is not ready to receive the ball.

Exchange serves. At the end of the first game, the receiver becomes the serving player and the serve becomes the catch. After that, each round ends. They are all exchanged with each other in turn until the end of the game.

1) Pre-Serve Rules The server should stand in the area behind the end line, between the midpoint and the putative extension of the sideline, and toss the ball in any direction in the air with his hand before the ball touches the ground (players who can only use one hand can throw the ball with a racket). When the racket makes contact with the ball, the ball is sent. (2) Procedure of Serving A When serving, the serving player should start from the right half of the court in each game and stand behind the right half of the court in turn.

If the serve is sent from the wrong half of the zone and is not detected, the result of the match caused by the wrong serve will have action. However, this incorrect position should be corrected as soon as it is discovered. b The ball should be sent over the net, touching the ground in the opponent's teeing area before receiving the player, or land on any line that forms the teeing area.

3) Error on Serve A service error is made if: a if the server has breached any part of the Rules or 9(b); b. If he fails to hit when he tries to play; c If the ball is sent out and touches a fixed object (excluding nets, centre belts or net belts) before touching the ground. 4) Second Serve After a service error (if it is the first error), the server should serve again from the stipulated position at the back of the same half of the court where he found the error.

If the first error must be made from the wrong half, the server must serve from the back of the other half and have only one chance as required by Rule 9. (5) Rotation of Serve The player who serves first in the tiebreaker (or the pair in doubles) receives the serve first at the start of the next set. (6) Serving order At the end of the first inning, the receiving player should become the serving player, and the serving player should become the receiving player; And in this order, all the rounds in the rest of the game will be exchanged in turn.

If a player serves in the wrong order, the player who should take the turn serves the ball as soon as the error is discovered, and the score will stand until the error is discovered. A service error found in this error will not be counted. If the error is over before it is discovered, the following order of serve will be played in the order in which it has changed.

7) Invalid serve After the serve touches the net, it still falls into the opponent's service area; The receiver is not ready to receive the ball; Both should be re-served. (8) The position of the server At the beginning of each game, the serve is served from the end line of the right area, and after scoring or losing a point, the serve should be changed to the left area. The ball should be sent over the net and into the opposing opponent's teeing area, or in the line around it.

9) Time to serve The server should not serve until the receiver is ready. If the latter tries to hit back the serve, he is considered ready. However, if the receiver makes one he is not ready, he cannot claim a mistake on the serve because the ball does not touch the court within the fixed limits of the serve.

The three ways of serving the tennis ball refer to the flat shot method, the side spin or cutting serve and the topspin service and hitting method, which are different from the three ways of serving and hitting the ball, but the difference in the length of contact time between the paddle surface and the ball and the magnitude of rotation is determined.

1. Flat serve.

This kind of serving method, simply put, is to smash the ball from top to bottom, the focus is to hit the ball point at the moment, and the paddle surface and the ground should be kept perpendicular; Most people prefer to hit with strong speed, but they often ignore an important condition, that is, the ball must pass through the net, and the height of the net is meters, at least above the height of the hit to improve the goal rate.

2. Straight side spin or cutting serve.

The lower right side of the ball, in contact with the racket, is positioned in a position similar to the three-point direction, and when the ball makes contact with the racket, it rotates downwards to the left, causing the ball to spin sideways. This way the ball tends to spin outwards after hitting the ground, making it more difficult for the receiver. Most of this serve is used in doubles and the second serve, and the sidespin serve is not affected by the weather and the height conditions.

3. Topspin serve.

This way of serving is a land and air weapon that wants to become a good top player. This serve is the most difficult of the three types of serves, but it is also the most difficult way to deal with the highest goal rate and the most difficult way to return serve. This type of serve is to spin the falling ball upwards after throwing the ball, and the rotation of the ball and the swing of the ball act in the same direction.

The topspin ball will have a high bounce when it lands, which is relatively free of height restrictions, but it is important to pay attention to the use of the body and wrists.

The player must stand behind the baseline and at any point between the midline and the sideline. The receiver can choose to stand at any point behind the net, usually diagonally opposite the server. After the receiver signals that he is ready, the server starts serving.

When serving, players should use their hands to throw the ball in any direction in the air (usually upward) and then hit the ball with their racket before hitting the ground. If the player is not satisfied with the action of tossing the ball, he can let the ball land naturally and start again. However, if a player strikes the ball with a racket and does not hit the ball, it is considered a service error.

The serveer should not deviate from the original position with both feet during the entire duration of the serve. The serveer's feet may be off the ground, but they must not walk or run; This is to prevent deliberately misleading the direction of the ball. Contravention of this rule, or deviation of the feet from the area too large may constitute a violation.

In a correct serve, the ball sent should go over the net (but not touch the net) and land at any point in the diagonal tee area on the other side of the net. If the ball touches the net but still lands diagonally across the teeing area, it is a touch to the net and should be re-served (but not counted as a service error). A service error occurs if the ball lands in the net, lands before it crosses the net, touches anything other than the net before landing, or does not land diagonally in the teeing area.

The server can serve again after the first service error, but if the error continues, the opponent will be awarded a point.

Note: The ATP is currently discussing changes to the rules for the use of serves, which will be piloted in the first three months of 2013 at the ATP Challenger, whereby a serve will be deemed valid without the need to re-serve (whether one or two serves). [1]

After a successful serve, the receiver shoots back. The player should hit the ball with his racket once before the ball bounces back twice, causing the ball to cross the net and land at any point in the opponent's court, otherwise one point will be lost.

The golfer hits the ball before it hits the ground and bounces back, and it is still valid. However, touching the net, hitting the ball before it crosses the net, hitting the ball with anything other than the racket, deliberately hitting the ball twice, etc., will result in the loss of points. In doubles, either partner may hit the ball in any round, but not both, after serving and returning the ball for the first time.

1. No side is allowed to illegally delay the serve when serving.

2. Both the serving player and the receiving player must stand diagonally in the service area to serve and receive the ball, and their feet must not touch the boundary of the service area; Both feet must be partially in contact with the ground and must not move until the ball is released.

3. The server's racket must hit the ball holder first, and at the same time, the whole ball must be lower than the waist of the server's Chi Xiaosui.

4. At the moment of hitting the ball, the racket shaft should point downward, so that the entire racket head is significantly lower than the entire grip of the server.

5. After the serve starts, the server's racket must be continuously swung forward until the ball is released.

6. The ball must fly upwards over the net and fall into the receiving player's service area if it is not intercepted.

7. Once the players on both sides are in position, the first swing of the racket head of the server is the start of the serve.

8. The server must be ready to serve when the receiving player is ready, and if the receiving player has tried to ascend to the receiving serve, it is considered to be ready.
