Players switch servers in tennis after every odd game in a set. This means that the server changes every game, starting with the first game of the set.
That depends on the federation that the event is played under. In tournaments played under the International Tennis Federation rules, balls are changed after the first 9 games, then after the next 11 games, then after the next 9 games, then after the next 11 games, and so on.
