if you are serving, it is the "left" side of the court
A serve in tennis is when you have the ball to start a game. For instance, the score is 3-4 games, you with 3 games won, and it is your turn to serve. A serve is when you hit the ball on the opposite side of the court in the square. Example: Standing on the right side to serve, you hit it in the square on the left side.
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.
There is no "term" for the start of a tennis match. After the players' warm-up has completed, professional tennis matches officially begin when the chair umpire says, "play." Amateur and unofficiated matches usually begin by the server asking the receiver if he/she is "ready".
The ad side of a tennis court is the players left side. Or the opponents right side.
In tennis, the game begins with a serve, where one player hits the ball to start the point. The server must hit the ball into the opponent's service box on the other side of the net to start the rally.
Each player starts off on the deuce side (right side of the court) at the beginning of the game and alternates between deuce and ad (left side) every point, but every game always starts on the deuce side.
In a doubles game, the ball is served diagonally from one side of the court to the opposite side, over the net, by a player on the serving team. The serve must land in the opposite service court.

You need to start on the right side of the badminton court because in your first serve, you are serving evens. (0) For evens (0,2,4,6,8) you stand on the right side of the court to serve and for odds (1,3,5,7,9) you stand on the left side of the court to serve.
There are two types of serve that a player cannot return, one is an Ace and one is just called Unreturnable. An Ace is when the returner cannot get their racket to the ball at all. An Unreturnable is when the returner touches the ball, but cannot return it within the court.
