Question

Is it against the rule to return a very weak 2nd serve, before the ball bounce once ( just like a volley)?

Answer 1

Yes, a point is awarded to the opposition after a volley on any serve

Answer 2

Yes because a point isn't valid until the service lands in the service box. Therefore volleying the oppoents serve is against the rules.

Answer 3

yes...the ball MUST bounce in a serve...As my old tennis coach put it.."It must bounce in to be in", you know what i mean.

Answer 4

yes it is against the rule and a point is awarded to the server... a proper way to recieve is to let the ball bounce first before u return it when recieving a serve..

Answer 5

it should bounce first before you hit it...

Answer 6

Yes, that's against the rules.  The ball must bounce in the service box before you can return it.

Answer 7

Yup, if the serve didn't bounce in the service box & ya hit a return volley shot, that's illegal & ya loose a point. Sorry, ya have to wait for the serve ball to bounce in, before ya return it.

Answer 8

Yeah, you can only volley when it is not a serve, volleying is not allowed on serves. It would make the game easier but they do not allow it.

The reason why is that you should get a fair serve with no interference + you should also let it bounce to determine if it would be in or out.

Hope I explained well.
