Defensive player
 A type of player who generally stays at the
 baseline and tries to keep the ball in play
 without taking risks. Players like this leave the
 attacking to their opponents, winning most of
 their points from opponent errors.


 Deuce
 The score in a game where both players have
 forty points.

 Double fault
 A situation where the server has failed to serve
 correctly on both attempts, i.e. the first and
 second serve. The server loses the point.

 Drive
 A powerful stroke with slight topspin. Given its
 long, straight trajectory it is well-suited as a
 passing shot or attempted winner.

 Drop shot
 A slice shot that stops very quickly and hardly
 bounces.
