Note: If you hit a bad serve, it’s called a “fault”. If you hit a bad serve twice, it’s called a “double fault”, and your opponent will get the point. If you hit a good serve and the opponent misses, it’s called a “service ace”. If your serve hits the net but still lands in the service area, it’s called a “let”.
