Assessing The Rules • Second Serve: This rule is fair, it allows players to get the game going, if this rule didn’t exist players would either; serve too slowly or lose too many points on unsuccessful serves.
Regulations • Shoes- Players have to wear proper tennis shoes, to protect the court from tread-marks. • Court size- Has to be 27 feet wide and 78 feet long • Racket- it has to have the stitches attached and unbroken strings
Assessing The Regulations • Shoes: They have the rule for tennis shoes so the players don’t damage the court, this is especially useful for clay courts, as they get damaged more easily. This regulation isn’t that useful, but it’s hard to improve or change it.

If the two players are tied at 6-6, they go into a Tie break in the tie break the points go up by 1, when you get to 7 with a two point lead you win, if it’s tied or you’re on a 1 point lead at 7, you keep playing until you get a two point lead.
