Focus on your ball toss if you are having trouble with your serve. The way you toss the ball has a huge impact on where your ball is going to go. Is your toss out in front of you? Is your toss behind you? Also look at when you are catching the ball with your racquet. Do you catch it at its peak, meaning your full arm extension? Or do you hesitate and wait till the ball toss is closer to the ground? A serve that goes into the net can mean that your ball toss is out too far in front of you or you are catching your toss too low or both. A serve that goes into the net can also result from dropping your head too soon. Over exaggerate by keeping your head up until the ball has crossed the net. You be may be catching your toss behind you or too high or both if your serves are going long. Try shortening your toss and make sure that it does go behind your ball. Your toss should fly easily off your fingertips.
In table tennis doubles, each player on a team takes turns serving. The serve must be diagonal, starting from the right side of the server's court to the opponent's right side. The serve must bounce on the server's side first, then over the net to the opponent's side. The serve must also be hit from an open palm and be below the waist. If the serve hits the net and goes over, it is a let and the serve is retaken.
If it hits the net and goes into the service box, you get one re-serve (as opposed to getting two re-serves if you do that on your first serve). If it hits the net and does not land in the service box, then it is a double fault.
In tennis, the server gets two chances to serve the ball into the correct service court. The first attempt is called the first serve, and if that serve is a fault (not in the correct court or goes into the net), the server has a second opportunity, known as the second serve. If both serves fail, it results in a double fault, and the server loses the point.
Let in tennis is when a point has to be stopped because of a distraction in the middle of a point from something like a balls rolling on to the court. A let is also where the serve hits the net and goes over into the correct service box. This rule applies to everything but the lets in World Team Tennis and Division one mens college tennis.
If the serve touches any part of the service box (including the white lines that enclose it), then the serve is in. This includes barely nicking any part of the line.
if it doesn't bounce when someone hits it, and then you hit. then they get the point. when it bounces and goes off the side, then they get the point. :)
a let ball is when your ball hits the net and still goes over (like, hits the very tip) on a serve. That is a let. If it doesn't go over it's just considered out. You can reserve, and if it's your first serve, it's still your first serve. Same with second.
To develop a successful serve you need to snap your wrist, spin your body for torque, move your arm, as well as jumping and tossing the ball. A lot goes into a good serve. I had to put all these factors together to be able to serve 105-110 with spin. *This might not help sorry...
A baseline player is a tennis player who rarely goes to the net, if at all, and sticks to the back of the court at the baseline rather than employing the serve-and-volley or chip-and-charge techniques.

there are numerous ways for you to score while playing tennis. if you serve, and your opponent does not return the ball, hits the net on the return, or returns the ball and it goes out of bounds, these would all equal a point to you. you can also gain a point if after two tries your opponent does not serve the ball over the net. also remember the score starts at 15, goes to 30, then to 40, and 60 is win. if you both are tied at 40, that is called two, and you would need to score twice to win the match.
