Serving Clock Violations
If the player has not started the service motion at the completion of the 25-second countdown, the chair umpire will issue a violation. A subsequent violation, according to the rule book, would result in the loss of a first serve.
Hitting the Ball Before Bouncing
In regular tennis, you may “volley” the ball (hitting the ball before it bounces on your side of the net).
The most common method to decide who serves first in professional matches is the coin toss. One of the players picks either heads or tails, and the winner of the coin toss decides whether he wants to serve, receive, or defer.
