Hi Abdul,

To decide who serves first you can toss a coin and then the winner of the toss can decide to serve first, receive first or they can choose an end.

If you miss the serve completely it is a point to your opponent.  The order of serving remains the same, i.e. players have 2 serves each and then change.

Thank you.  Not too hard to follow with singles.  I play with a lot of seniors, the confusion comes in doubles for us.  Especially in a five set series.  It becomes messed up on who serves to who after the second game and the shift on the fifth set.  Can you help us out please.
