Service Court

The area in which the server must be positioned in order to serve. It is different for singles and doubles play.

In singles matches, players serve in the right hand service court if their score is even (0, 2, 4 etc) or left hand service court if their score is odd (1, 3, 5, etc).

In doubles, if the team score is even, then the player on the right hand side service court serves. If the team score is odd, then the player on the left hand side service court serves. Players only switch service court when they have won a point while holding service.
