What are some of the Terminology for tennis?

Answer 1

There are many tennis terms such as...

Ace: a very successful and well-executed serve that the opponent does not/cannot touch

Ace return: a very successful service return that the opponent does not/cannot touch

Long: the ball is long when it is hit too far and lands out

Lob: hitting the ball high into the air; a well-executed lob will spin over the opponent at net and hit the back of the court

Love-All: meaning the score is 0-0, any score ending in "all" means that it is a tie (e.g. for scores 15-all, 30-all, 40-all or for sets 1-all, 2-all, etc.)

Smash: hitting the ball from overhead usually before it hits the ground

Cross court: hitting the ball diagonally into the opposite side of the court (left to right, right to left)

Volley: volleying is done at the net, hitting the ball before it hits the ground, this is a quick move and requires a player to be

Tie-breaker: a kind of "sudden death" set played when the set score is 6-6; the first player to 7 points and win by 2 points takes the tie-breaker for the set
