Tennis Terms List
Tennis, like any sport, has its own lingo, and tennis uses perhaps the most well-known sports term — love, which means zero. The following list offers definitions of basic tennis terms: ace: A serve that the returner doesn’t even touch with her racquet. Ace A perfect serve in bounds that the opponent cannot return and is not touched by the receiver. Ad court The side of the court on which the second point of each game begins, also called the left court or the backhand court. Advantage The player who scores the first point after deuce is said to have the advantage, since winning the next point will also win the game. Tennis is a sport where “love” means zero, and the scoring system is different for games, sets and matches. We get it: that's confusing. Thanks to the USTA Officiating department, it doesn't have to be. This handy guide will teach you the basics of scoring, and playing the sport for a lifetime, with helpful tips and buzzwords that you may want to know before you take to the court.
