what is meant by ACE in the game of tennis
128119
A single-stroke point won by the server who produces a legal service that his/her opponent cannot reach with his/her racket and thus fails to return. By definition, an ace will not occur should the opponent touch the ball in any way, even if the return is illegal.

Moonballing in tennis just means to hit the ball high and deep, with little pace. It's not really a lob, which is usually hit higher and with the purpose of forcing someone from the net.\nThis strategy is learned by most players as a way of disrupting the opponent's rhythm, enticing the opponent into going for too much too soon, and wearing down the opponent physically and mentally. Moonballers often win against opponents who hit harder and are technically superior unless the opponent remains patient.

no advatnage is when the 2 players are tied at 40 all. they have to get two points in a row when they get the first one it is called advantage. A break point is when the player not serving has 40 and the server has either love,15, or 30. i am a tennis layer so i am glad to answer this question.

If it is a competition in the case of matchplay then the extra holes are decided before the match starts, should it be level after 18 and the shots are awarded exactly the same as the original 18 ie according to the stroke index of the hole. In the case of stroke play, then the back nine is counted if that is level then the back seven if that is also level then the back five and then three is taken into consideration, if this is also level it is usual to have either a sudden death or three hole play off, if it is still level after the three hole play off the the same three holes are played over and over until an out right winner is found.  If it's a friendly then be civilised after all it is golf your playing and just go to the bar and buy your opponent a beer and congratulate him on managing to stay even with you over 18 holes

I play co-ed in Kansas City.  The only differences are that the net is at the Men's height and that a girl must touch the ball on one of the three hits before the ball goes over the net (except for overpasses).  The game is still the same, and so are the rules.

No bet!\n\nENIGMA! ENIGMA! ENIGMA! ENIGMA!\n\nI now have one of your questions figured out, that I was originally wrong about, before the voting started. LOL\n\nYou asked:\n\nWhat happens in 8 ball (world standard rules)?\nYour opponent shoots at and successfully sinks one of YOUR stripes, then shoots another stripe and misses the pocket. \n\nWhat do you do? \n\nI say:\nYou shoot solids now, since he has now taken over stripes, because you failed to claim a foul when your opponent pocketed your stripe and then also shot a stripe.\n\nYeah, I know! too late.

Racquetball is a sport played with racquets and a hollow rubber ball on an indoor or outdoor court. It was invented by Joe Sobeck in 1949 incorporating rules from squash and handball. Unlike many other racquet sports, the walls, floor, and even ceiling of the racquetball court are considered in-bounds. The game is normally played by two players, though there are variations with three or even four (which can get very crowded). Two player games are called singles, three player games are typically called iron-man (2 on 1 during entire game) or cut-throat (each player take turns serving to the other 2), and four player games are called doubles.\n\nHistory\n\nJoe Sobek is credited with inventing racquetball, though not naming the sport. Sobeck, a tennis professional, and handball player, was looking for a fast paced sport that was easy to learn and play. He designed the first strung paddle, devised a set of rules based on those from squash and handball and named his game, "paddle rackets". In 1952, Sobek founded the National Paddle Rackets Association, codified the rules, and had rules booklets printed.\n\nThe new game grew quickly through Sobek's continual promotion of the game but was also aided by the estimated 40,000 existing handball courts across the country in YMCA's and JCC's which could be also be used for racquetball.\n\nIn 1969 with the help of Robert W. Kendler the president and founder of the U.S. Handball Association (USHA), the International Racquetball Association (IRA) was founded using a name coined by professional tennis player, Bob McInerny. That same year the IRA took over the National championship from the National Paddle Rackets Association. After a dispute with the board of directors of the IRA in 1973, Kendler went on to form two other racquetball organizations but the IRA has continued to be the dominant organizing force within the sport, recognized by the US Olympic Committee as the U.S. national governing body for the sport. It organized the first professional tournament in 1974 and is a founding member of the International Racquetball Federation. The IRA eventually became the American Amateur Racquetball Association (AARA) and then changed again in the later 1990's to the United States Racquetball Association (USRA). The USRA in 2003 then switched again to mirror other Olympic sports by changing its name to USA Racquetball (USAR).\n\nKendler used his publication ACE to promote both handball and racquetball and starting in the 1970's and aided by the fitness boom, the popularity of the sport surged with an estimated 3 million players in 1974. With the increased demand racquetball clubs and courts were founded and sporting goods manufactures began to produce equipment specific to the sport. The growth continued into the early 1980's but declined in the latter part of the decade as fitness clubs converted court space to serve a wider clientel with aerobics classes and newer fitness machines. Since that time the number of players has remained steady with about 5.6 million players.\n\nCurrently the International Racquetball Tour (IRT), Legends Tour, and Women's Professional Racquetball Organization (WPRO) handle the professional aspects of the game. The game is televised a few times per year, with the biggest televised event being the US Open championships, held in Memphis, TN. In 2005, another grand slam event was added: Pro Nationals. This event is held each year in Chicago.\n[edit]\n\nRules\nRacquetball court during serve\nEnlarge\nRacquetball court during serve\n\nA standard racquetball court is rectangular and is 40 feet long, 20 feet wide and 20 feet high.

The service line is parallel to the short line and is five feet closer to the front w

every time you hit the ball, you add a stroke.  if you go out of bounds or in the water, you add 2 strokes.  if the par for a hole (the amount of strokes you should be able to get the ball in the cup) is 5, and you hit 4 strokes, you get a -1 for the hole.  if you hit it in in 5 strokes you get par.  1 over par is a bogey.  (6 strokes on a par 5)  2 strokes over par is a double bogey.  if you get one under par, its a birdie.  2 under par is a eagle.

Well being a former player and having played with players who played in that tournament, here are some qualifications you will need to play in the tournament. \n1. Do you have a junior ITF ranking, tournaments to get this experience are Easter Bowl, other major tourneys.\n2. Are you ranked in the top 5 in the nation in the boys 18's?\n\nIf your answer to these questions are no, then you have zero chance of playing in this tournament. Qualifying requires you to have earned points prior to the tournament, they don't just let anyone off the street show up to play for fun. Unlike the mens draw that has a qualifier, there is none for the junior draw. The mens draw also requires a ranking usually around top 250 in the world to play the qualifier alone.

Many tennis clubs in the UK are too bound up the Country Club ethos whereby who you are and what gear you've got and what you wear is more important that how well you can actually play.\n\nAll that ambition and winning is frighteningly infra-dig, old chap!  Best left to Johhny Foreigner.  They don't even drink Pimms, you know!

if you've played other sports before, such as golf, baseball, you'll notice that the swinging motions are the same. if you are comfortable with these sports, your tennis swing should come naturally.  Footwork is also a main part of the game.  As long as you have good footwork, can move across the court quickly, it should give you an easier time making the team.  Anyone can play tennis with some dignity if they have a decent swing and footwork.
