TENNIS STUDY SHEETS (9/04) the COURT Forehand- Stroke Played TENNIS STUDY SHEETS (9/04) HISTORY- its origin is in the ancient game of handball, first played in Greece. Tennis as we know it today was introduced in Staten Island by Mary Outerbridge after a vacation trip to Bermuda. OBJECT OF THE GAME-is to hit the ball over the net so that your opponent may not return the ball. Your team thus scores points. It may be played by 2 players (Singles) or 4 players (Doubles) and is played on a court whose surface maybe of cement, clay, asphalt or grass. THE COURT ---------------------------------------- x------------------------------------ ---Double’s ---------------------------------------- x------------------------------------ Sideline x Service F x Right Baseline-------- Line O x Service Back R x Court E N -- ------- E----------- ----- T x Service C x Left Line O x Service Center U x Court Court Mark R x RSC T x Single’s ---------------------------------------- x--------------------------------------- The Sideline --------------------------------------- x---------------------------------------- Alley ACE- a legal serve not touched, or able to be returned by an opponent. BACKHAND- stroke played on the left side of a right-handed girl. BALL- made of rubber covered with a coat of felt comes in a variety of colors. DOUBLE FAULT-loss of a point by the server for failing to make good on either of her two chances to serve. DEUCE COURT- the right court since, whenever play is started in this court, an even number of points has been played in the current game. FAULT-ball not properly served or one that doesn’t land in the proper court. Forehand- stroke played on the right side of a right-handed girl or vice-versa. Ground Stroke-forehand or backhand used to hit a ball after it has bounced. LET-a serve, which hits the top of the net but, is otherwise good; a let serve is re-served. A ball touching the net and going over is considered in play any other time. Also when a ball comes from another court and interferes with play. LOB- a ball hit high into the air and deep in the opponent’s backcourt. MATCH POINT- a final point of a match; SET POINT -final point in a set. MATCH- for women, the best of three sets; for men, the best of five sets. NOT UP-term when a player fails to play the ball before the second bounce. AD COURT-the left service court since, whenever play is started in this court, an odd number of points has been played in the current game. OVERHEAD SMASH-stroke used for a ball that is over a player’s head. RACKET-The weight, grip and size of the handle vary and should be suited to each player. The strings of the racket are called the face; the frame and strings are called the head. RALLY- describes play after the serve to the conclusion of the point; also a long series of shots in which both players are able to keep the ball in play. SERVICE BREAK-term used when a game is won by the receiver rather than server. UMPIRE- the official who is in direct charge of a match. U.S.T.A.-the United States Tennis Association. It sets all the rules for the game and controls who is in direct charge of a match. VOLLEY- a short punch stroke used to hit the ball before it bounces. SCORING-tennis is based on three units of scoring; points, games and sets. A player must win at least 4 points and must be at least two points ahead of her opponent to win a game. To win a set, a player must win at least six games and be at least two games ahead. To win the match, she must win at least two sets. If you have no points, your score is called love; if you have one point, your score is 15; if you have two points, your score is 30; if you have three points, your score is 40. If each player has won one point the score is 15-15 or 15 all and if two points 30-30 or 30 all. In the case of each player winning three points the score is called deuce and one player must now win two consecutive points in order to win the game. The first point after deuce is called advantage; advantage in (ad in) if the server wins the point, or advantage out (ad out) if the receiver wins the point. If you have the advantage and you win the next point, you have won two consecutive points and you win the game; but if you lose the next point, the score is again called deuce. The server’s score is given first when calling out the score. SERVING-the act of putting the ball in play at the start of each point. One player serves an entire game and each side alternates during the set and match. The server starts the game from behind the right half of the base line and is allowed two trials to serve the ball into the right service court diagonally across. The second point is started from behind the left half of the baseline. SERVING FAULTS OCCUR WHEN: 1. the server commits a foot fault, by not keeping both feet behind the baseline until contacting the ball. 2. the server misses the ball while attempting to strike it. 3. you serve the ball after it has bounced (it must be hit in the air). 4. the served ball does not land within the proper service court. 5. you hit the ball more than once. AFTER THE SERVE, A PLAYER LOSES THE POINT IF: 1. the ball bounces twice on her side of the net. 2. she fails to return the ball into her opponent’s court. 3. he returns a ball, which hits a permanent fixture before it hits the ground. 4. she hits the ball more than once in making a shot. 5. she touches any part of the net while the ball is in play. 6. she hits the ball before it crosses the net. However, you may contact the ball on your side of the net and follow through across the net. 7. a ball in play touches a player or anything she wears or carries. 8. she throws her racket at the ball. 9. she double faults when serving to an opposing player. AFTER THE SERVE, IT IS A GOOD RETURN IF: 1. a ball lands on a boundary line. 2. the ball touches the net as it passes over, provided it lands in the court and not on a serve. 3. the ball is returned outside the net posts either above or below the level of the net and bounces in the proper court. 4. a ball in play strikes a ball left lying on the court. The player must return the ball in play or lose the point. DOUBLES-the playing court is enlarged by the addition of the alleys but the service courts are the same as in singles. One player serves once every 4th game during the match. The order of service and receiving is decided at the beginning of each set and this order must be maintained throughout the set. CHANGING SIDE-the players shall change sides when the sum of games played in a set is odd. TIE BREAKERS-are used to shorten matches. When a set score reaches 6-6 usually a tiebreaker is used. The next server serves one point into the left or odd court. The next server and all the players thereafter in that tiebreaker, serve two points beginning with the right or even court. Side change take place when the total points played is 6 or a multiple of 6. The first player to reach 7 points wins the set & the score of the set is 7-6. GOOD MANNERS 1. never enter a court when a game is in progress. 2. when retrieving the ball from your own court, return those balls that belong to players in other areas. 3. do not talk or distract a player when she is serving the ball. 4. on a serve that is a fault or a ball than lands outside of the court, do not play the ball, then there can be no doubt that the ball is not in play. SHORT MATCHES-no deuce games (1st to 4 pts win game), 1 pro set of 8 or 10 games. .

  • Ball Change in Tennis: How Does It Affect Match Characteristics and Rally Pace in Grand Slam Tournaments?
    Original Article Ball change in tennis: How does it affect match characteristics and rally pace in Grand Slam tournaments? JAN CARBOCH 1 , MATEJ BLAU, MICHAL SKLENARIK, JAKUB SIMAN, KRISTYNA PLACHA Department of Sport Games, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic ABSTRACT Tennis balls degrade after fast racket and ground impacts until they are changed after agreed number of games. The aim is to analyse the new (after the ball change) and used balls (prior to the ball change) match characteristics and the frequency of rally shots in matches in the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon in 2017. Paired samples t-tests and Cohen d were used to compare the point duration, number of rally shots, time between the points, rally pace and work to rest ratio among these tournaments. There was a significant difference in rally shots number played with the new balls (4.17 ± 0.86) compared to the used balls (4.60 ± 1.10) in female matches (p = 0.047); in males matches large effect size was found (d = - 0.83) in the same variable with the new balls (4.44 ± 0.57) and used balls (4.95 ± 0.66), both happened in the Australian Open. No difference was found between the new and used balls in the rally pace in all the observed events. The Wimbledon match characteristics were least affected by the ball change. The ball degradation affected the match characteristic the most in the Australian Open, in terms of more rally shots, but not slowing down the rally pace.

  • Tennis Study Guide
    TENNIS STUDY GUIDE HISTORY Mary Outerbridge is credited with bringing tennis to America in the mid-1870’s by introducing it to the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club. In 1880 the United States Lawn Tennis Association (USLTA) was established, Lawn was dropped from the name in the 1970’s and now go by (USTA). Tennis began as a lawn sport, but later clay, asphalt and concrete became more standard surfaces. The four most prestigious World tennis tournaments include: the U.S. Open, Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon . In 1988, tennis became an official medal sport. Tennis can be played year round, is low in cost, and needs only two or four players; it is also suitable for all age groups as well as both sexes. EQUIPMENT The only equipment needed to play tennis consists of a racket, a can of balls, court shoes and clothing that permits easy movement. The most important tip for beginners to remember is to find a racket with the right grip. The net hangs 42 inches high at each post and 36 inches high at the center. RULES The game starts when one person serves from anywhere behind the baseline to the right of the center mark and to the left of the doubles sideline. The server has two chances to serve legally into the diagonal service court. Failure to serve into the court or making a serving fault results in a point for the opponents. The same server continues to alternate serving courts until the game is finished, and then the opponent serves.

  • Settling Disputes
    SETTLING DISPUTES Disagreements between players on line calling and scoring are common within competitive tennis. When disputes occur within official competitions it’s important that they are handled in a fair, consistent and efficient manner. The following steps detail how to settle disputes. LINE CALLS This involves a player making a subjective decision which ultimately could have a big effect on the outcome of the match. This a hot issue particularly for Juniors who for many reasons, often do not accurately see the ball in relation to lines. Witnessed Line Calls If an referee or court supervisor witnesses a blatantly incorrect call, they can go on-court and tell the player that the incorrect call, was an unintentional hindrance to his/her opponent and the point will be replayed, unless it was a point-ending shot and therefore the point will be awarded to the opponent. In the case of matches played on a clay court, the point is awarded to the opponent regardless of whether it is a point-ending shot or not. Unwitnessed Line Call Dispute (non-clay courts): • Ask the player whose call it was, if they are sure of their call. o If yes, the call stands. o If no, then the point should be replayed. • If you think it would be beneficial to have the match supervised (and this is possible), have the Supervisor stay on the court for the remainder of the match. Advise players that he/she will correct any clearly incorrect calls. • If it is not possible to allocate an adult to supervise the match, you should watch the next few points from off the court and then keep a discreet but watchful eye on the rest of the match.

The ATP World Tour’s ace leader, No. 7 seed Ivo Karlovic, meets a resurgent Ernests Gulbis, who is seeking his first semi- final appearance of the season.

  • The Ballad of Kiss My Ace!
    The Ballad of “Kiss My Ace”- A Women’s USTA 2.5 tennis team- Club Fit Briarcliff Westchester, Ny If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster, And treat those two impostors just the same By Jeff Scott- Club Fit Pro and 2012 Team Coach A Floating Ball was coming down our Southern “Ace” team’s “heartland” of the tennis court, during our match point for the deciding and final match of the Eastern Sectional Championship tournament. Marcie lunged for it with her backhand two-fisted volley, and steered the ball deep into the home Northern team’s heartland, apparently smack on the baseline! A simultaneous shriek of joy erupted from both Jodi and Marcie, as the match was hard fought, close as can be and deep into the super tiebreak. After all, it was a competition against the team that had clinched the tournament and was heading off to vie for the National Title. The win against the tournament champion certainly would have been gratifying, and would have catapulted the Southern Aces into second place, a very respectable finish to a Cinderella season by unified and determined group of Westchester tennis warrior women! But no! Defeat was snatched from the jaws of victory by the most unlikely of sources- a defiant finger wagged in the air! With an air of duplicity, an admonition and an over-rule were issued simultaneously with one, exultation stealing gesture. The infamous finger belonged not to one of the Northern’s opponents, but to a one of the few local officials assigned to monitor the tournament.
