Under Law 10, it depends on the server's own score:
- 0 or an even number: serve from, and receive in, the right service court.
- Odd number: serve from, and receive in, the left service court.
If the server wins the rally, they score a point and serve again from the other service court. If the receiver wins the rally, they score a point and become the new server, serving from the court that matches their new score.
