The sides of the court are named according to the score. When the score is forty-forty, it's referred to as "deuce." When playing a deuce point, the server serves from the right side of the court. Thus, the right side of the court is considered the deuce side.

When the score is ad-in or ad-out, the point is played from the left side of the court so that side is the ad side.

An even number of points should have been decided when a serve is about to be delivered from the deuce court. In other words, all the odd number of 'points' should commence being decided via serving from the deuce court.

Therefore, for instance, the very 1st point being played in any one game is served from the deuce court. When that point is won by a player or team, an odd number of points will have been decided for that game. Therefore, the scores cannot be level when you move to serve from the Ad court. They can be even, however, when the serve is about to be delivered from the deuce court.

Thus when the ball is about to be served from the deuce court, the scoreboard must read as one of the following:

0-0 [Love all], or 0-30; 15-15 [called "15 all"], or 15-40; 30-30, or 30-0; 40-40 ["Deuce"] or 40-15.

More simply put, the scores must be level, or one side must be 2 points up when serving from the deuce court.

The deuce side of the court is generally considered the forehand side. However, that is based on right-handed players, so if a lefty is playing, their forehand will be on the ad side.

Deuce is basically a way to win by two points in a match such as tennis or table tennis. You get an 'advantage' when you win your first point, and have to win the second point in order to win the game. If you lose your second point, it'll go back to deuce until somebody wins by two points.


Which court do you serve into first in tennis?

I will interpret this question as asking which SIDE of the tennis court do you serve into first in tennis. The two halves of the tennis court are called "ad" (short for advantage) and "deuce." Your ad court is diagonal to your opponent's ad court and your deuce court is diagonal to your opponent's deuce court. You begin serving on your ad side diagonally into your opponent's ad side. If you are facing the net from the baseline, the ad side is the right and the deuce side is the left. In simpler terms, you start on the right side and serve diagonally into the left side of your opponent's court. This is a link to a tennis court diagram. Perhaps a visual will help better understand the answer to your question. It can be found on the related links.
