Working as a tennis coach I had the privilege of teaching many beginners the rules and scoring of the game of tennis. However, as a beginner myself many year ago, I benefited from the instruction of a very well-qualified coach at the National Tennis Center in Melbourne, (the venue for the annual Australian Open Tennis Tournament).
This is what she taught me. To begin with one should thoroughly familiarize themselves with the dimensions of a tennis court; knowledge of the exact dimensions is not a crucial requirement but it is a good idea to get a feel for the playing area that you will be using.
A tennis court is set out essentially for the playing of two different games, that being singles and doubles. The easy way to differentiate the different playing area is to remember that the tramlines, the strips of tennis court on either side of the main playing area, are only ever used when one is playing the game of doubles. Occasionally one sees a tennis court where the tramlines are absent, such as in specialized exhibition courts; if you've ever seen one you'll be familiar with the exact dimensions of a singles court.
Whether one is playing singles, two players, or doubles, four players - two on either side of the court, there are a few important things to remember before a racquet is even picked up and play starts.
To begin with find the center mark along the baseline of the court. This is where the serving action begins. The opponent or opponents on the other side of the court are advised to stand back behind the halfway line of the court in order to return serve. In doubles, the exception to this rule is when you are not receiving serve and will then take up a position near the net in order to volley any balls.
When serving the player stands to the right of the center line and begins the service action so the ball is delivered to the left hand forward box on the other side of the net. When the point is completed the server moves to the left of the center line and serves to the right forward box on the other side of the net.
A point is played out until: (a) the ball is hit out of bounds, outside the lines, (b) the server serves two faults, that is two invalid serves or (c) the ball is missed by one player and bounces twice without retrieval.
The scoring of tennis employs a unique system. The first point scored is called as 15, being either 15-0 (fifteen love) where the server or serving team wins the point, or 0-15 (love fifteen) if the opponent wins the point. The second point will be announced as 15-15 if the receiver or receiving team wins or 30-0 if the server wins the first two points. This pattern continues until either one player or team wins four points then a game is called.
If the score gets to 40-40 where both team has won four points a 'deuce' is called by the umpire (or whoever happens to be scoring). When this happens play continues as normal until one side wins two points in a row; when this happens a 'game' is won. The next point after the deuce will be announced as 'advantage' to the winning side. If the opponent wins the next point then the score will go back to deuce and play continues.
Tennis is played in sets, either three or five depending on the type of match. Five sets are usually only used for men's singles matches and three sets for women's and doubles matches. The exception to this rule is played at the Virginia Slim's Championships, the season ending tournament for women on the professional tennis circuit; here the final is played over five grueling sets.
Back to scoring, in a set the score continues until one side wins six games and therefore wins the set. The exception to this rule is when the scoring reaches five games all (5-5); if this happens the first side to reach seven games to five (7-5) will win the set. If the play reaches six games all (6-6) then a 'tie-breaker' is played. The first side to reach seven points with a lead of two will be announced as the winner of the set. Players change ends after every six points. If the tie-breaker score reaches six all (6-6) then play continues until one side wins by a margin of two points.
In a three set game the winner is whoever wins two sets first. In a five set game then the winner is the first to three sets. The exception is when each side wins a set in a three set game or two sets each in a five set game. Then an 'advantage' set is played where the player who reaches six games wins or whoever can win by two games after five all (5-5) is declared.
An advantage set is not always played at club level as it can extend a match for a very long time. At the club level, a tie-break set is often scored to break the deadlock and provide a winner.
Tennis is a great sport for players of all standards and even though the rules and scoring can seem complicated at first, the beginner will soon pick up the finer points and enjoy the course of play.

Choosing Tennis Clothes that Fit Comfortably
You have been playing tennis on and off over the years and have finally decided to get more serious about the game. You figure you can kill two birds with one stone by getting your exercise while doing something you like. Now, you set off to get yourself ready to play.
As always, you want to look your best, after all, you have always been a great dresser. The decision now is 'what should I wear when playing tennis?' Do I need special outfits similar to what pros like the Williams sisters wear or can I just wear casual clothing? Bottom line is that the decision is yours to make.
You can purchase a complete outfit made by any major manufacturer of sporting goods. These include Nike, Adidas, Prince, Wilson, Head, Babolat, Balle de Match, and there still many more out there selling good products.
If you do not want to invest in the special clothes, think comfortable. Your outfit should be loose and flowing as you will be running back and forth, jumping up and down and twisting in every direction as you try to hit the ball. Maybe you will want to just wear the clothes you already have in your closet or to purchase ones-either works as long as you can move freely around the court.
If you join a group or a club and play as a team together, you may need to purchase a team uniform.
Your group will select an outfit that may include a top, shorts, socks and jacket or a special short dress with socks and a jacket-monograms are also available and you can even add the team's name to the back of the outfit.
If you have joined a tennis club, you may want to stop by periodically to see what other people are wearing. I am not saying that you should try to 'keep up with the Jones' here, but there may be an 'unspoken' dress code for players. You should be able to figure that out without embarrassing yourself by showing up inappropriately dressed.
Take time to go out and shop around for your outfit. If you do not have a lot of spare time or you hate to think about spending time at the mall on your day off, look on the internet. Just type in 'tennis clothing' and you will be amazed at the number of different web sites that will be listed.
Go through a few of these sites to get an idea of what you want-this is probably the quickest and easiest way to see literally hundreds of different options in just a few minutes. You can even order your outfit without every leaving your home-it can even be delivered directly to your door for you to wear.
Find the outfit you like and that you are comfortable in. Play tennis with your friends, make new acquaintances, schmooze with potential clients, and just enjoy yourself. You are out with people and getting exercise and you look and feel great.
