Does it count if your serve bounce does not pass the back line of the tennis court?

Question

The ball does land on the correct service box

I used a slice serve

Answer 1

if it goes in the correct service box.

Answer 2

as long as your serve landed inside the correct service box (and lines), it doesn't matter where it bounce to.

Answer 3

Yes it does, so long as it bounces within the appropriate service box, it doesn't matter what happens after that.

Answer 4

yes, it still counts if your bounce goes past the line, it's happened to me before.

Answer 5

All the ball has to do is hit into the correct service box for it to count.  Passing the baseline would be a good thing if you hit serves real low forcing the opponentto hit a lob and you can crush it with a overhead or just slice it at the net.

Answer 6

As long as it lands in the diagonally opposite service box without hitting the tape it will count. Unless you foot fault which is when your foot touches the line before or during contact.

Answer 7

Yes it always counts if it lands in the correct box on the first bounce. After that its time to return it.

Answer 8

it doesn't matter.. just don't foot fault. Your bounce can be in front of the line.

Answer 9

As long as your serve lands inside the correct service box (or its lines) it doesn't matter where it goes from there.

Answer 10

Yes. If it lands in the right service box when it bounces, from there, it's all fair game. No matter how funny the ball bounces or where it lands, from there, the point begins.
