Yes, the players switch sides in tennis. Every odd game total is when players switch sides. For example, after the first game, players switch sides. This goes for after the third game, and so forth.
You switch after every set (unless it will be the last set of a match, since then the ref will flip a coin to see who gets to choose which side they want). In college, teams also switch after 8 points if the match goes to 5 sets.
after the 1st game then every 2 games after that- so after playin an odd # of games
The players switch sides after halftime to give both teams equal opportunities to win the game.
after a set at the 8th point on the 5th set
After each set, and if it goes to a tie-breaking set, the teams switch halfway through.
Switching sides negates any advantage that might be gained from the sun shining in one sides' eyes, any wind, glare, or crowd placement. It eliminates complaining that 'we lost because the sun was in our eyes' type arguments.
Each player has two services, then service switches to the other player. Players change ends at the end of each game (which is up to 11), and also when one player or pair have scored five points in the deciding game. So if a match is best of seven games, you switch sides at the end of each game and if the match is three games each, you also switch sides when one player or pair have scored five points in the final seventh game.
Players switch sides in tennis on odd games to ensure fairness. On one side, a player may be forced to look into the sun and have the wind against them while the player on the other side has the wind helping them and the sun behind them. It's not fair to have these sorts of conditions constantly go against one player and for the other, so players switch sides to neutralize any effects from the conditions.
They change after the first game of a set, then after that it is after every two games
