c) This excellent video discusses Rules and Terms used in tennis. Do you know what a "let" is? What is a "double fault"? What does "deuce" mean? When playing doubles, where does the net player stand when his partner is receiving the serve? If you are serving and the ball hits the "center line" is the ball in or out? Do you know what "No Ad scoring" means?
2) Two ladies teach you How to Keep Score and win the game. Note: When the score is "deuce" that mean the game score is tied at 40-40. A player must win two consecutive points to win the game. However teams in our league agree to play No-Ad scoring which means that if the score is tied at 40 to 40, then whoever wins the next point wins the game! This helps to speed up the match! The receiving team decides which side (the left or the right side) they want to receive the serve.
