It's Wrong!
In tennis, when one player starts the play by throwing the ball up in the air and hitting it, it is called a serve. The serve is the first shot of each point and it initiates the rally. The player stands behind the baseline and must hit the ball diagonally into the opponent's service box. The objective is to start the point with an advantageous position and gain control of the game.
