TENNIS TIP - NOVEMBER 2009


THE PRIME OBJECT IN MAKING CALLS IS ACCURACY

A player calls shots landing in or aimed at his side of the court.

All out, let or fault calls should be made promptly.

Any doubt must be resolved in favour of the opponent. Any ball that cannot be called out with certainty is considered to have been good.

A player should acknowledge promptly if a ball touches him, he touches the net; he double hits a ball, if the ball bounces twice or if he hits the ball before it crosses the net.

A player may ask his opponent “Are you sure of your call?” If the player acknowledges any doubt he loses the point.

If a call is changed from out to good the point is only replayed if the out ball was put in play. A player shall not put into play or hit over the net an obvious fault.


Yours in keeping friendship in competition, 
John “MIGGS” Migliaccio
