Tennis rules?

Question

in going into tennis next year and im doing tennis camp this summer. (tomorrow is the first day). can u give me a brief description of tennis' rules. also any tips u have to give me.

Answer 1

i don't no much but i play at school. when you serve you have to get in the opposite side you are serving on (in the square) for singles the boundaries is the inside lines and doubles the outside lines. the ball can't bounce twice on your side.

Answer 2

go have fun....... use common sense.. try hard

Answer 3

Lets start with scoring.

Every point you win gives you 15 points usually

It goes 15-30-40-Game

If you are both at 40 it is deuce, then you have to win 2 straight points, to win the game

6 games generally to win a set, 7 if it goes to tie breaker, and it can also be 7-5, if you are tied at 5 and win 2 straight.

Tiebreaker format is, generally, Player 1 serves once, P2 twice, P1 twice and so on, till 7 i believe

You need to win 2-3 sets to win a match 2 if it is a 3 set total, and 3 if it 5

Generally for girls and people in teens it is 2 sets to win

Gamewise:

Singles court has boundries

Serve has to be in opposite service box

Cant go over baseline till ball is hit on serve, if you serve

Cant hit net with raquet

2 chances to hit serve

if it hits net and goes over on serve if you are serving it is a let, then they serve again, and have their normal 1st and second serve, 2 lets in a row, double fault

cant hit ball into net, it can hit net and go over on normal hit and be inplay
