Tennis can be played as singles or doubles meaning it can be you and an opponent or you, a partner and an opponent and their partner.

In doubles, one player stands at the end of the court, the partner near the net in the box next to you. The player at the baseline serves and has two tries,serving into the box diaganol from them. If in, the point is played out. In doubles, as long as the ball is hit by the first bounce and stays inside the court, it's in and counts as a point. The first to 50 wins but the scoring goes love (meaning 0) 15, 30, 40, then game (50). If both opponents have 40, it is called deuce and one person must win by two points in a row. If you get a point it's ad-in if you're serving or ad-out if you're not. If you win the next point you win the game. If you lose the point, it goes back to deuce. When serving, you switch sides after every point, one serve is at the left side at the court, the next to the right, but ALWAYS start on the right. Your partner merely switches sides (boxes) at the net. If the opponent is serving, then you choose which side of the court you want and one stays at the end, the other at the net. You just walk from the net to the baseline on your side after every point. After each game, the side that is serving switches.

In singles, you stand at the baseline, the opponent diagonal at the other end. The same rules apply, however the ball cannot enter the lines on either side of the court or else it is out and you must cover the entire court by yourself, but start out on the baseline diagonal from your partner.

Have fun!

Tennis is played by hitting the ball to the other side and trying to get the ball past your opponent. When you do that you get points.
