ACE ball ACE ball is a serve in which one of the two sides of the game serves, the ball falls in the effective area, but the other side fails to touch the ball to make it a direct score, which can be divided into inside corner S-ball, and outside corner S-ball.
Out-of-bounds: a ball that does not hit the effective part of the court. In singles, the effective part of the court is the space between the two vertical lines on the inside, while in doubles it is the area between the two vertical lines on the outside.
Rubbing the net: A rubbing of the net on the serve is ruled a foul and requires a redirection, whereas in the course of a normal match it is considered a stroke of luck, as the ball usually changes its direction of flight after rubbing the net, leaving the opponent defenseless.
Crossing: The ball refers to an interception at the net when the opponent hits a very fast return and lands in bounds for a point, and the player at the net fails to touch the ball. It's the most beautiful thing to watch in a masters' game, because the side that goes to the net generally has the advantage, and hitting a through ball is a bit of a come-from-behind victory. Sampras is a good tennis player who can often hit the crossing ball.
The lob: When one player intercepts a shot at the net and is in a favorable position, the other player hits a high curved ball that jumps over the head of the player at the net and lands in bounds for a point. The best player at hitting the pick-and-roll is the Chinese-born Zhang Depei, but as he gets older and his skills deteriorate, his pick-and-roll is becoming more and more difficult to see.
Bureau Tennis: Each set starts with a score of 0:0, and the first point of the ball is recorded as 15, so that if the server wins the point, the score becomes 15:0, and if the receiver wins the point, the score is 0:15 (the score of the server is given in front of the colon). A player's second score is 30, followed by 40 (historically, these numbers represent 1/4 hour, i.e. :15, 30, 45, but 45 was later changed to 40). If the opposing player is only 30 or less, the next ball wins the inning, as each game must have at least 2 more points than the opponent to end the inning.) If both players reach 40, it is called an "end of inning tie". With this next point, the player in the lead tries to get as far ahead as possible by 2 points in order to win the set. At the same time, the opponent, who is in hot pursuit, tries to equalize the score to reach the "end-of-set tie-break" again, and the player in the lead wins the next point, which wins the set.
Set tennis: In a match where the opponent is behind by at least two games, the player who wins the first six games wins the set. However, if the set is 6:5, then both players have to play another set. If the first player wins, i.e. the set is 7:5, the first player is awarded the set. However, if the other player ties the set at 6:6, then a tiebreaker (a steal of seven) will determine who is the winner.
The match: In tennis 3-set matches, the first player to win 2 sets is the winner, i.e. 3 sets to 2; in 5-set matches, the first player to win 3 is the winner, i.e. 5 sets to 3. Tiebreaker (7 games): In a tiebreaker, the player who is supposed to serve serves the first point, the opponent serves the second and third points, and then both players take turns serving the second point. The first player to score 7 points wins the set if he is at least 2 points ahead of his opponent. The courts are exchanged at the end of every 6-point game and at the end of the tie-break. There are exceptions, however, if the match is played in a long set, as agreed in advance. There is no tie-break, and the only way to win the set is to win two more games than your opponent.
