Let or Fault?

Ayan Madan Asked 16 years ago

Hi Guys!!!

I wanted to ask you, that if you serve and the ball hits the net, goes over but does not touch the opponents side ie. it goes out...is that a let or will that be a fault??

Thanks,

Ayan

Hi Ayan,

Your example is a fault even though the ball hit the net. To be a let it must bounce on your side, hit the net and then bounce on your opponents side.
