In tennis doubles matches, each team consists of two players. The serving team alternates between players, with the server starting from the right side of the court. The receiving team can decide which player will receive the serve. The ball must be served into the diagonally opposite service box. After the serve, players can hit the ball as many times as needed before it goes out of bounds or hits the net. The team that wins the point serves for the next point. The first team to win six games with a two-game lead wins the set.
