A Young Tennis Player’s First Serve

The boy stands on the tennis court with a racket raised and a ball held above it. He wears a shirt, shorts, and athletic shoes, while the court lines appear beneath him. His pose captures the preparation that comes just before a serve begins.

What Happens During a Tennis Serve

A serve starts each point in tennis. The player sends the ball upward and strikes it into the diagonally opposite service box, usually using an overhead motion that combines balance, timing, and control.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why does a tennis player toss the ball before serving?
The toss places the ball high enough for the player to reach it comfortably with the racket. A steady toss also makes the serve easier to control.
Where must a legal serve land?
It must cross the net and land inside the service box diagonally opposite the server. A serve outside that box is called a fault.
Does a player get another chance after missing a serve?
In standard tennis, a player normally has two attempts to make a legal serve. Missing both attempts results in a double fault and the opponent wins the point.
