A serve (or, more formally, a service) in tennis is a shot to begin the point. The most common serve is used is an overhead serve.It is initiated by tossing the ball into the air over the server's head and hitting it when the arm is fully stretched out (usually near the apex of its trajectory) into the diagonally opposite service box without touching the net.
A serve is made when there has been no fault on the point; a second serve occurs when there has already been one fault on the point. On a second serve, the server is in danger of losing the point if there is another fault. The rules make no distinction between the first and second serve. However, the tactics used are different.
