In tennis, the Ad Court is each player’s left side of the tennis court. Ad is short for Advantage. It is called the ad court because the serve following a deuce score is always played on the left side.
Players like Roger Federer, Serena Williams, and Novak Djokovic are known for often strategically targeting their opponent’s ad court on important points.
The ad court contrasts with the Deuce Court, which is on the right side. Switching serving sides between Ad and Deuce courts helps keep the game fair.
