Forgiving - A racquet is often called forgiving if, on off-center hits, it transmits less shock to your arm or produces less unpredictability in the direction of the ball's rebound. A flexible racquet is more forgiving to your arm, a stiffer one more forgiving to your shot. This term is currently used where two distinct terms would have much clearer meaning.

T - The midcourt area, where the service lines meet the center service line.

Power Holes - Elongated grommet holes on the inside of the racket head, allowing the strings to move more freely upon ball impact. The result is more forgiveness during off-center hits. Wilson Power Holes are also designed to expand the actual string response area, "enabling players to experience the power of an oversize racquet with the control of a midsize."

Double fault - The server is given two attempts at a valid serve. If both attempts fail, it is a double fault and the receiver wins the point. Also used as a verb.

Let - A stroke that doesn't count and must be replayed. This most commonly happens when a serve touches the net before entering the proper service court. It's also a let if the serve is delivered before the receiver is ready, if play is interrupted by some unusual occurrence (such as an animal running onto the court), or if a linesman's decision that resulted in stoppage of play is reversed by the umpire.

Run around the backhand - To make excessive movement in order to play a ball on the forehand rather than on the backhand.

Half volley - A shot on which the ball is struck just after it has hit the court. Also used as a verb.
