Hi Abdul,
To decide who serves first you can toss a coin and then the winner of the toss can decide to serve first, receive first or they can choose an end.
If you miss the serve completely it is a point to your opponent. The order of serving remains the same, i.e. players have 2 serves each and then change.

Thank you. Not too hard to follow with singles. I play with a lot of seniors, the confusion comes in doubles for us. Especially in a five set series. It becomes messed up on who serves to who after the second game and the shift on the fifth set. Can you help us out please.
