At the beginning of the game (0-0) and when the servers score
is even, the server serves from the right service court. When
the servers score is odd, the server serves from the left service
court.
If the server wins a rally, the server scores a point and then
serves again from the alternate service court.
If the receiver wins a rally, the receiver scores a point and
becomes the new server. They serve from the appropriate
service court left if their score is odd, and right if it is even.

and the same server serves again from the alternate service

The players do not change their respective service courts until
they win a point when their side is serving.
