2.1Singles and doubles lines
Doubles serveServe diagonally. The box is wide (outer side line) but stops at the inner back line.ServerIn playNet
2.2Easy way to remember
- Serving in doubles is short and fat: wide side lines, but the back line is the inner one.
- Serving in singles is long and thin: narrow side lines, all the way to the very back.
- Once the rally is going, doubles uses the whole outer court and singles uses the narrow one, full length.
