Serve basics: where to stand

The server starts each game serving behind the baseline of the right hand court.

They must put the ball into the service box diagonally opposite.

The server must stand between the centre mark and an imaginary continuation of the sideline (the singles line in singles, the doubles line in doubles).

The server must swap sides after each point.
