The Rules of Tennis - EXPLAINED!

[@shawofeverything3716]

why would anyone dislike this? It's a quick ands simple guide to a game with a strange scoring system, and unique rules.

[@NinhLyUK]

Ah, you get haters everywhere. But thank you - I appreciate the comments about the usefulness of this video! :)

[@c4sh3w]

I liked the video. However, it was very fast. I had to rewind several times because my apprehension is not so quick.

[@brunogiora25]

Also, there are a few minor mistakes that might confuse the spectator, like the explanation of an ace. It is said in the video that an ace is when the player serves the ball legally and the opponent cannot return the ball, even if he touches it to the outside of the court, when in reality an ace is "a legal serve that is not touched by the receiver, winning the point". The image showing Federer not receiving Murray's serve corroborate to this minor mistake of the video, because Federer does touch the ball after a legal server of Murray, but he didn't return it well (the ball went out of Murray's court area), this is not an ace.

[@Thestrikeronin]

Because its showing tons of clips of Federer losing...

[@hellshaked6530]

Because it's not all right

this vid is fire man, i have to make some power point shit about tennis this thing will help me a lot , ty man.

[@exit47]

Two questions: how to know from which side to serve; when do players go from one side of the court to another? Thanks a lot for this excellent video!

[@ajaypendyala4106]

Before the match begins, a coin toss is performed. The winner of the toss gets to choose to either serve or return first (service/return position) OR they get to choose the side of the court. If the winner chooses the serve/return position, the opponent gets to choose the side and vice versa. Players switch sides after every odd number of games (after the 1st game, 3rd game and so on).

[@jaythestar4352]

I hope you know I'm watching these because I have an exam. But your videos are very enjoyable and informative, keep it up :)

[@NinhLyUK]

Thanks, much appreciated!

[@MKD1101]

I learnt about let.

[@NinhLyUK]

Cool, glad this video helps.

[@MKD1101]

Ninh Ly is it necessary for the ball to land in opponent's court for it to be called a let or it must go off the court?

[@NinhLyUK]

No, it can land outside so long as it grazes the net and goes over.

[@Jake_Stevens]

On a let, after the ball hits the net, it MUST land inside the correct service box. If it lands OUTSIDE of the correct service box, it is a fault.

[@SkyreeXScalabar]

@@Jake_Stevens yup video was wrong about that, ball has to hit net and be in service box for let. I've been playing tennis for 4 years and had to second guess myself lol

at 1:25 it says two points ahead.........got confused whether those points are like 40-38 or 4-2......just let me know

[@NinhLyUK]

+panorama Example, if score is 40-15 and the person with 40 scores another, they win the game. If the score is 40-30 and the person with 40 scores another, they win the game. If the score is 40-40, both players have to score twice in a row to win the game. Hope that helps?

actually an ace is when your opponent serves and you did not even touch the ball

[@lucasborja3797]

jaaaic10 Yup

[@Hitman_4Hire]

If you can't return the serve then it is an ace

[@manuelrivera7329]

Ace is a synonym for a serve that is also a winner.

[@spineapple2870]

angusyip123 a winner is when you or your opponent doesnt hit the ball

[@meetdenis82]

Correct. If the opponent's raquet touches the ball then its not an ace. And it's not a winner either.

Or is it easy to play and will I embarrass myself.
