court and then, after passing over or around the net assembly, the receiver’s court - in doubles,
the ball shall touch successively the right half court of server and receiver.
From the start of service until it is struck, the ball shall be above the level of the playing surface and behind the server’s end line, and it shall not be hidden from the receiver and umpire by any part of the body or clothing of the server or his/her doubles partner.
It is the responsibility of the player to serve so that the umpire can see that they comply with the requirements for a good service, which is an “OPEN” technique fully visible to both the receiver and umpire.

their order of receiving when first one pair scores 5 points.

in a game shall start at the other end in the next game of the match and in the
