What is called the “service center mark”?
Where is the service center mark located?
The service center mark at the midway point of the baseline is drawn even with the middle line of the service boxes which the server must stand to the left or to the right of to deliver a service attempt into an opposite service box.
The service center mark divides the baseline in half and runs perpendicular to the net. It defines the point you cannot cross when hitting a serve in either the deuce and ad court. It’s a great point of reference, as you’ll find coaches telling you to always return to the center of the baseline after you hit a groundstroke.
