KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Let – a serve is called a let when the ball hits the net cord but still lands in the service court. Such a serve is not considered a fault and the server may repeat the service attempt. A ball that hits the net cord but lands outside the service box is still a fault.

Detailed explanation-2: -If you serve a ball that hits the top of the net before bouncing into the correct service box, it is called a let. You may take that serve again. If the ball hits the net and lands outside the correct service box, it’s a fault.

Detailed explanation-3: -A service let suggests the ball hit the net and successfully landed in the correct service box. The server should repeat their serve. However, if the ball hits the net and lands outside of the correct service box, it is considered a fault.

Detailed explanation-4: -A served ball that hits the net does not result in the service team losing its serve. The net serve is considered in-play, unless 1) it does not continue over the net or 2) lands outside the opposing team’s court-side untouched by the opposing team.

Detailed explanation-5: -Balls that clip the net Every tennis player has experienced hundreds of these. Of course a serve that hits the net and lands in is a let and you take the serve again. (If it hits the net and lands out, then sadly, that is a fault). During a rally, balls that clip the net are fine, play continues.
