You start the game, the service game from the right court side. I don't use the expressinons duce court, or adv. court, cuz it confuses lot's of people. So, you start from the right hand side, when you serve, then you hit the serve in ur opponenets right court. When u are on the left hand side, same story. So you can't hit the serve just where you want. Every time you serve, sombody has to win a point. Either you, or ur opponent. If you miss the first serve, then u are allowed to hit a second one. It u don't miss, the game goes on. If you miss the second serve as well, the you lost the point, you go to the other side of the court, and carry on serving. First point won is 15, second 30, third 40 and if you win the next point, it's game. You have to win 6 games in a set to have won the set. There must be at least a gap of 2 games, when u reach your sixth game, only then are you the winner. So if you have won 6 games, your opponent must be at 4 of less. So 6-4. It it is 6 all, there is a tie break to decide the winner.
If something else is unclear, just write.
