What are the rules for tennis singles matches?
1. Serving player and receiving player: Players should stand opposite each other on both sides of the net. The player who serves first is called the server and the other player is called the receiver.
2. Choice of venue and serve: The choice of venue and the right to be a server or a receiver in the first game are determined by a coin toss. The party who wins the toss can choose or ask his opponent to choose.
3. Serve: Serve should be sent in the following way. The server should stand before starting to serve, that is, stand behind the baseline (that is, the side away from the net), within the assumed extension of the center mark and the sideline. The server then uses his hand to throw the ball in any direction in the air and hits the ball with a racket before the ball touches the ground. At the moment the racket comes into contact with the ball, the entire transmission is considered to have ended. A player who can only use one arm can use his racket for throwing.
4. Foot error: During the entire sending process of the serve, the server should:
If he does not change his position by walking or running, if the server moves slightly without substantially affecting his original position, he is not considered to have “changed his position by walking or moving.”
The server’s feet must not touch any place other than the area behind the baseline and between the assumed extension of the center mark.
