The Layout of a Tennis Court

Video Transcript

"Okay, now I want to go over the court a little bit because if you're playing singles tennis versus double tennis, there's a little bit of difference on what's in and what's out. If you're playing doubles tennis, any ball that's hit anywhere in the court from the outside white lines to the other outside white line is in and back to the base line. If you're playing singles tennis, it's a little more competitive. Basically, it's anything from the inside line to the other inside line and within the base line is going to be in. If you're serving, generally you'll serve back here from either the right side of the left side of the little line coming out there. You'll have an opportunity to take 2 shots. Your first serve, obviously, you'll choose to be more strong. You'll first serve will have to get in the opposite square on the other side of the net on one bounce. Now, if you so happen to hit the net and the ball bounces in that square, it'll still be your first serve and you'll get to serve again or second serve vice versa. You get 2 serves. Your second serve will be more as beginner just to try to get in. Your first serve you can work on having it being harder and more velocity on the ball. Those are my roles. Take the strategies and setup your shots and you'll be a tennis pro before you know it. "
