service box
Explanation:
“The service box is the box on the opposite side of the court – both over the net, and on the server’s left-hand side (the returner’s right-hand side). The service box is between the alley and the middle of the court, between the service line and the net.”

service box target


Explanation:
Alvado parece ter a conotação de target em inglês, algo a ser atingido. Como o termo se refere ao tênis, trata-se da área de recebimento de saque ou serviço.
