Why is there no shot clock used for the second serve in tennis?

In tennis, players are given two serves to attempt to put the ball in play. The first serve is typically more aggressive, as players are trying to hit a winner or force an error. The second serve, however, is often used to simply get the ball in play and start the point. As a result, there is no shot clock used for the second serve.

There are several reasons why there is no shot clock used for the second serve. First, it would slow down the game. Second, it would put too much pressure on players to hit a perfect serve on their second attempt. Third, it would give an advantage to players with big serves.

Instead of a shot clock, the second serve is regulated by the rule that players must wait for the ball to bounce once before hitting it. This gives players time to recover from their first serve and to prepare for their second.
