Sortie - A poach in which the poacher strikes out past center to cut off a shot but withdraws to the side of the court he or she started on. (In an all-out poach, the poaching team switches.)

Placement - A shot hit to an area where the opponent cannot reach it.

No-man's land - The area between the baseline and the service line, so called because a player who is caught there finds it difficult to hit ground strokes and isn't close enough to the net to hit slams..

Service line - The line that marks the back boundary of the service courts on each side of the net.

Longer Frame - An extra long racquet has a length greater than 27 inches. Such racquets provide greater leverage and reach, but may be less maneuverable.

Power Groove System - A frame geometry where a recessed groove is incorporated into the frame cross section and spans the entire inner surface of the racquet head. The groove expands the string bed area and in effect increases the effective length of all strings within the string bed. This makes the string bed elasticity more uniform across the string bed, especially in the shoulders of the frame where intersecting strings are the shortest, to expand the Power Zone or Sweetspot of the racquet.

Match - A tennis contest made up of sets, as a set is made up of games. In major competition, a men's match is made up of five sets and the winner is the player who first wins three sets. Women usually play best-of-three matches.
