Change of ends

Rules

Sourav Mehra Asked 14 years ago

I have a question.Why do the players in this match change sides in the 5th set ?Is it because it is the last set?

Alois Rosario Answered 14 years ago

Hi Sourav,

That is a rule of the game. IN the last set of a match when the first player reaches 5 points the players change ends. This is to make sure that both players get the same conditions in case there is something that favours one end.
