DEF

The right-hand service court into which the server must serve when the score is "deuce". In other words, the right half of a tennis player's court as that player faces the opposing baseline.

OBS

The term "forehand court" is only valid if one were to assume that the recipient of the message is a righthander. Otherwise use one of the other synonyms. Other related term: station (e.g. to stand in the correct station before serving).

CONT

When you are serving from your forehand side, it's usually a good idea to give your receiver another wide-angle serve that takes him across his forehand sideline.

CONT

If your volley went to the other sideline (his backhand), you'll do just the reverse: you'll drift over into your own forehand court.

CONT

In delivering the service, the Server shall stand alternately behind the right and left Courts beginning from the right in every game.

CONT

The point score being 15-all, the Server, by mistake, serves from the left-hand Court. He wins the point. He then serves again from the right-hand Court, delivering a fault.
