1. Unique serving method
Tennis rules stipulate that the two parties participating in the sport will serve in a round until the end of the round. This round is called a serve round. In each serve, there are two opportunities, that is, one missed serve, and two others. The opportunity to serve greatly increases the power of the serve. Because of this, the serving side can always have a certain advantage in a balanced game between the two sides.
2. Different scoring methods
In the ten-day match of tennis, the scoring method of 15, 20, 40 is used, and each game uses 6 games. The scoring system with 15-point units began in the Middle Ages. According to the regulations of the astronomical sextant, a circle is divided into six equal parts. Each portion is Ba degree, each degree is 60 minutes, and each minute is 60 seconds. On the other hand, 4 ten 12 seconds is 1 minute, 4 IS is divided into 1 degree, 4 15 degrees is 1 portion, so 4 15 degrees are proposed As a constant, 1 point is awarded to 15 points, from 4 points to 1 part, to serve, 1 part is served, and later, the ear-disc ratio is changed to 6 parts, which becomes a “round”, which happens to be a complete set. The circle. So later, 1 point was recorded as 15, 2 points were recorded as 30, and 3 points were recorded as 40 (notation omitted). When both sides scored 40 points, it was considered equal (dcoce), which means that to win, it must be net. It means 2 points.
3. Long competition time and high intensity
The official tennis match is three wins in five sets for men and two wins for women in three sets. The general match time is 3-5 hours. The longest match time in history is more than 6 hours, because the match time is too long and too late. It is not uncommon for the game to be suspended on the same day and continue the next day. A close match, due to the long time of the game, requires high physical strength for the athletes of both sides. The density of human enemies on tennis courts is the least among all the sports competitions across the net. Because of this, some people have played a very intense tennis match. The running distance of men is close to 6000 meters, and that of women. 5000 meters, the number of shots reached thousands.
