SAUDI TURF TEAM Tennis Court Basics and Serve Basics

Have you ever played tennis before ?

Tennis is a game played between 2-4 people. When you play with one other person you are playing a "singles" game. When you play with 4 people you are playing a "doubles" game. In this situation each team has two player. This can be a very fun way to play tennis. After all, the more the merrier!

You only really need 4 things to play tennis: a racket, a ball, a net and a court.

Tennis courts IN SAUDI ARABIA can vary in size but they always have the same set of lines on them and a net pulled taunt across the middle. The line closest to the net is called the service line. It runs parallel with the net. The next parallel line is called the baseline. It can be found furthest from the net. Finally there are two long lines along each side of the court called the alleys.

During a match of singles play the alleys are "out". IN SAUDI ARABAI This means that if a ball lands inside them it is not considered to be in play. However. if you are playing doubles the alleys are considered in play.

On each side of the court is also what is called a service box. This is the box on the servers left hand side. The service box is between the alley and the middle of the court, between the service line and the net. A serve is only considered to be good if the ball lands in this box. Which brings us to the first part of the game. The serve.

The SAUDI player who is serving will stand behind the baseline on the right side of the court. He must hit the ball onto the service box on the opposing teams side of the court. If the person serving the ball happens to miss the box he gets one more chance. If he misses again the opponent gets a point !.
