Before playing any game, it is important to understand its rules. Therefore, if you are interested in playing tennis then before you pick up racket and start playing; first get aware with its rules.
Following are few rules and regulations followed by all tennis clubs in Connecticut or any other city:
Baseline
A player when hitting a serve needs to be on a certain boundary, which is called as baseline. It is a horizontal line on the court and player needs to stand outside of that line facing the net. Once the ball is served, player can stand anywhere in the court.
Sidelines
On both side of tennis court (left and right) there are two lines stretching from the baseline to the net. These lines are called sidelines.
These lines indicate single and double matches. The inside pair of lines indicates singles matches; the outside pair of lines indicates doubles matches.
In bounds
The court is divided into two halves, in which the middle part of the court is called in bounds. When playing tennis, a player needs to serve into the front part of the court on the opposite side.
Out of bounds
Every player makes a mistake when playing, which is stated as fault. In tennis, if the serve does not land in the proper section of court, it is considered as a fault.
Player getting two faults in a row, benefits the opponent player as he or she get the point for the two faults, if committed.
Likewise, if ball gets out of bounds on a regular volley shot by the player, then also opponent player gets a point. And if ball goes out from baseline, then it is stated as out of bounds and the opposing player gets a benefit of a point.
Net
Net is not just to make boundary. It also serves some value to the game. If a serve hits a net, the player has to replay the serve and in case if the ball hits the net on a regular volley and does not go over the net, opposing player get the credit to earn a point.
In case, if a player hits the ball off the net and it lands in bounds boundary of the opponent's side, the player hitting the shot gets an advantage to earn the point.
