Today, Sir Bagel will tell you about terms that may be difficult to understand or are confusing when playing tennis.
Tennis Terminology LET and NETLET or NET LET or NET?
When serving, if the ball is caught in the net and falls inside the opponent’s service line, is it a let or a net?
You might think it was four because it hit the net and fell, but the correct answer is let!
In tennis, let means to repeat, meaning that you have been interrupted by something and should start again from the beginning.
When serving the first serve, if it is a let, serve the first serve again.
When serving a second serve, if it is a let, serve the second serve again.
* If the game is stopped because the ball is passed from another court after the second serve, a let is declared and the game starts again.
As it resumes, it starts again with the first serve.
Do you call serving practice before a game a meh?
If you’re playing a game, should you throw it away before the game starts? You may have heard the saying.
An explanation of tennis terminology for those who have thought for a while about whether Tuma would be far away and then just said yes.
Tuma, which means ‘Two More’ in English, means that each player practices two serves as a warm-up before the start of the game.
It is a well-established theory that in Japan, Tomore was called Tuma, but it spread to Korea and we naturally started using it as Tuma.
Even if you ask people who use Tuma about its etymology, most of them use it without knowing much about it.
The correct term is Toomore, so it is recommended to use Toomore whenever possible.
example
“Shall we start by saying ‘Tomorrow?’”
“Shall we start by practicing my serve?”
When playing two more, you just have to exchange two serves with the opponent on the diagonal.
Depending on the club or gathering, there are places where ‘Tomore’ is omitted.
Court change or end change
When the sum of the number of games played is an odd number, such as 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc.
When two players or teams exchange places It’s called end change.
In club gatherings, the expression “koche” is sometimes used, but it is an incorrect expression as an abbreviation for “coat change.”
Endchange is an accurate expression
If a tie break occurs, an end change is made every time the sum of scores is a multiple of 6.
For example, if the tie break score is 5:1, an end change must be made.
Usually, when playing on an outdoor court, an end change is made if the player is affected by sunlight.
In most hobbyist competitions, you have to do an end change.
