En parlant d'une raquette, l'un des côtés s'appelle «droits» (côté où les cordes verticales croisent par-dessous les cordes horizontales) et l'autre «nœuds» (côté où les cordes verticales croisent par-dessus les cordes horizontales). Pour choisir le côté du service, l'un des joueurs fait pivoter sa raquette la tête en bas et la laisse tomber; l'autre dit «droits» ou «nœuds». Par extension : (tennis) Tirer à nœuds ou cordes.
