My point or my opponents?

Question

I play high school tennis so we have to make our own line calls. During a match my opponent called my shot out, then said opps no it was in, and continued to play the point, when he hit it back a caught the ball and claimed the point. He protested and eventually we had to play a let. Who was right?

Answer 1

If the ball was called out, the point stops.

If he corrected himself, and returned the ball into play, you should play a let.

If he corrected himself, and couldn't get the ball back into play, it should be your point.

Answer 2

If it was your point on the out of bonds it should have been your serve.

Answer 3

technically you should play a let as long as he played the ball back into the court.

Answer 4

when your opponent call YOUR shot OUT, the point is HIS. next time tell this kind of guy to respect himself. only after he respect himself can he respect his opponent. hope it helps :)

Answer 6

Once he called the shot out, the point was yours! There are no "OOPS" allowed!

Answer 7

If he overrode his call and his return was in it should have been a let.  If his return was going out it was your point.  You can find this in the USTA Friend at Court rules manual.  It's rule 12 in "The Code"  See the link below.

Answer 8

Answer 9
