NEW AGAIN IN 2009: Two years ago TENNIS E-News ran a well-received series of excerpts from "The Code, The Players' Guide for Unofficiated Matches". You have asked for a repeat? You got it.
When the ball is in play, another ball rolls onto court and a let is called. The server has previously served a fault. Is the server now entitled to a first service or second service? First service. The whole point is replayed.
What happens when the server is interrupted during delivery of the second service? The server is entitled to two serves.
