▪ Before they begin to play tennis, the players must decide who serves first

on one side as “tails.” One player stands the racket upright on the frame
they may use the manufacturer’s and spins it. The opposing player or
team calls which side will land face up. Others call on the toss of a coin.
If the call is correct, the layer or team may either choose to serve or
receive first or decide which end of the court to defend.
