What direction do you toss the serve in tennis?

Answer 1

The twist serve is probably the most difficult serve to return. Most pros use either the twist or topsin serve as their second serve. To hit a twist, brush the back of the ball(up then left-right). This is also called the American or Kick Serve, the kick serve is generated by putting loads amount of top/sidespin to make the kick effect, usually power does not associate well with this serve but with racquet head speed(brush effect: 7 to 1 o clock) with continental grip. Meaning of the power that doesn't associate well is that power will make the ball go out of the service box, but instead use alot of speed to make the "power" meaning, put a lot of spin on the ball, that what makes the ball bounce higher and more powerful. As for returns, stand near the base line instead of 3 ft away of the baseline, why? because kick serves bounce very high if u are not close enough to it, you have to attack when the ball is going up, usually a backhand slice or forehand slice is the ideal return, but if the ball is slow enough you might be able to hit a winner with normal forehand or backhand.

Answer 2

In tennis, you don't serve on just one side.

The first serve of each game will be from the deuce side (the right side if you are standing on the baseline) and the ball will be hit cross-court to the other player's deuce side.

The next serve will be from the ad side (the left if you are standing on the baseline) and go cross-court to the other player's ad side. This alternation will continue until the game is finished and a new one starts or the match is over.

Answer 3

From the right usually.

Badminton plays like this:

If you have 0, then you start from the right. If you score 3, you start from the left. I'm not sure if the scoring will be the same in Tennis also, as the sports are very similar.

Answer 4

When its their turn they stand in the correct area and throw the ball up into the air and swing their racket to slam it into the opposite court.
