No, when serving in tennis, the server's foot must not touch the baseline until after the ball has been struck. The server must keep both feet behind the baseline during the serve. If any part of the foot touches the baseline before hitting the ball, it results in a foot fault, and the serve is considered illegal.

How does serving work in tennis and what are the key rules and techniques involved?

In tennis, serving is the act of starting a point by hitting the ball into the opponent's court. The key rules and techniques involved in serving include standing behind the baseline, hitting the ball into the diagonally opposite service box, ensuring the ball lands within the service box, and following the proper service motion to generate power and accuracy. Players must also alternate serving from the deuce and ad courts and are allowed two attempts to serve the ball into play.


In tennis what is the difference between a baseline player and a volley or serve player?

a baseline player, literally keeps the ball at the baseline. he focuses on keeping hr depth of the ball very deep into the court, near the baseline. this can be a good tactic, or a very bad one.. depending on the situation. and serve and volley, once again literally: serves and sprints to the net. they make the serve so explosive in force, that when they find themselves done with the serving motion, theyre halfway into the court, and have no choice but to play at the net. hope this helped
