After making sure that everything went well, both tennis players laughed at this situation.

what place on the site is called the dead zone?

The area between the service line and the back court line is called dead because it is difficult to hit the opponent’s shots in this place. It is convenient to make strikes from being closer to the net or at the back line of the court.

How does the change of serve take place during a game of tennis and when does the change of sides take place?

The right to serve the ball in the first game is determined by lot. In the second game, the players change. The receiver becomes the server, and his points are declared first. The game begins with a serve to the right of the receiving square. The ball is served diagonally. Then the player serves to the left square, etc. For each serve, the player is given two attempts.

After the end of the first, third and each subsequent odd game, and also at the end of each set, if the total number of games in it is not even, the players change sides. If the number of games in a set is even, the players switch ends at the end of the first game of the next set.

what is inside a tennis ball?

The game characteristics of the ball depend on the thickness of the core and its filling. Tennis balls fall into two categories: pressurized and non-pressurized.

Pressurized balls are filled with an inert gas which provides a high pressure inside the core. This increases the height of the ball bounce. But these balls are not durable. The gas eventually escapes through the thin shell of the core and the dynamic properties of the ball deteriorate. Such balls have to be replaced with new ones. Balls under pressure are played by professional players.

Unpressurized tennis balls filled with air. The walls of the core are much thicker than balls with pressure, since only this indicator affects the rebound of the ball. These balls have a long service life, but the dynamic performance is reduced. These balls are suitable for training and for playing beginner tennis players.
