The ball is in your court.

Welcome to English in a Minute!

American English has many idioms that come from sports. This one comes from tennis:

“The Ball Is in Your Court”

Let’s see how to use this phrase when not talking about sports:

Person 1: Hey Jonathan! How did your date with my friend Caroline go?

Person 2: It went great! But, when I texted her, she didn’t respond. So, I guess it’s over.

Person 1: What!?? No! You can’t give up like that! Text her again!

Person 2: Well, the ball’s in her court.

In tennis, you can only hit the ball when it is on your side of the court. That is where this expression comes from. When the ball is in your court, you can take action. In our example, Jonathan says the ball is in Caroline’s court. He took action. Now it’s her turn. People also often use this expression in the business world.

And that’s English in a Minute!
