Illegal serving

Atanas Atanasov Asked 13 years ago

Hi Alois,

I've got problem. Today I was on a tournament without umpire. Most of my opponents weren't serving behind the line and I caught the ball and said that the serve is not legal. They said that their serve is legal and I am not allowed to catch the ball during a rally, so the point goes to them. I became very nervous.

Hi Nasko,

This is always a problem.  It needs to be addressed by the tournament organisers.  They should have a referee that will be able to watch the serves and help out if required.  In this situation you should talk to the organisers.  It is a difficult situation because it is a matter of their word against yours.
