I always get confused on which side I should serve on. Is there like odd's = Serving from right side and even's = Serving from left side? Please help, I get really confused from this. Thanks!
It doesn't matter what your opponent has right? So if you have 16, and your opponent has 17, you go to the right? And what if you don't score a point? You stay at 16... Do you still stand on the right?
In Singles, only the server's score matters. If the server has an odd score, both he and his opponent stand at their left side. Similarly, if the server has an even score, both players stand in their right side. In doubles, when there's a change of service, the receiving side stays in the same position they had when they last had the serve. If the serving side now has an odd score, the player on the left serves to the left player on the receiving side (diagonal), and if the serving side as an even score, the player on the right serves to the right player on the receiving side (diagonal).
One more question, haha. Let's say you scored one, you move to the left. What if your opponent also scores one? Do we moves sides? Or do we still stay in the same position?
You don't move. 'Position' is dictated by which service box (Left/Right) the server serves from. ->'Receiver' takes reference from 'Server'.
