REPEATING A RULE OF TENNIS -- Let or No Let Between Serves
By request, TENNIS E-News is reprinting a rule concerning delays between first and second serves. To wit:
ITF Rules of Tennis #23. USTA comment 23.2: What happens when there is a delay between the first and second serves? If the delay is caused by the receiver (such as a broken string or contact lens problem), an official or outside interference, the whole point is replayed. If the server caused the delay, such as when the server breaks a string the server gets one serve. Note that a spectator’s call (“out”, “fault” or other), a spectator’s cellphone ringing or grunting on an adjacent court is not basis for replaying a point. Action should be taken to prevent further spectator interference.
