Be mindful that even though a serve may be attempted, it may not be a successful serve. The reason is that in order to serve the ball successfully, the tennis ball must land in either the left or right service box. Fail to hit it in the box or directly on the service line, and it will be considered a fault.

If you receive a fault, you will have a second chance to serve. But if you fail to avoiding faulting on the second attempt, the point will be awarded to the opposing player.

To avoid faults, make sure to watch the power on shots. Don’t hit too hard, to the point where it will land past the service boxes.
