SERVE in Tennis

What is Serve in tennis A serve in tennis is the shot that starts every point in tennis. The server must hit the ball into the opponent's correct service box to begin the rally.   Detailed Explanation Every point begins with a serve. Players have two attempts to deliver a legal serve. If the first serve misses, they may take a second serve. Missing both attempts results in a double fault, and the opponent wins the point. Players use different serve types—such as flat, slice, and kick serves—to vary speed, spin, and placement, making it harder for opponents to return the ball.JTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwdHlwZSUzRCUyMnRleHQlMkZqYXZhc2NyaXB0JTIyJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZqcy43YmV0LnBhcnRuZXJzJTJGamF2YXNjcmlwdC5waHAlM0ZwcmVmaXglM0RnMHRwcEFNSVpFbTdqUEZ6Ml9HckFXTmQ3WmdxZFJMayUyNmFtcCUzQm1lZGlhJTNENDczJTI2YW1wJTNCY2FtcGFpZ24lM0Q0MCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==   How It...
