I've never been told that standing on a certain side is required, but through the advice of Jan and Felix, I tend to stand on the side of the team that lost the rally if possible. As Felix stated, this puts me where I need to be for the next serve. I won't take 5 or 6 steps to get there, but if I can get there in a 2 or 3 quick steps so that my signals are mirroring the R1, then that's what I'll do. It has worked very well for me. YMMV.
