Best Answer

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.
