Can't see opponents serve contact
Rules
Jasper Low Asked 6 years ago
I see in videos that some people serve a fault but the opponent couldn't receive but did not complain to the Umpire. So if your opponent serves but you can't see the contact, are you allowed to complain to the Umpire?

Hi Jasper,
It is the umpire’s call as to whether the serve is legal or not however it is worth pointing it out to the umpire so they also see it from your perspective.
For an umpire it is really difficult to judge what you are seeing.
