Rule 5 is real. You cannot catch the ball or touch any part of your body whether you are standing inside or outside the court, you lose the point. They make the rules simple so people cannot catch the ball before it land and then claim that the ball is going out. Without rule 5, then that will be a very big grey area in tennis rules. Obviously the rules that is fake is rule number 6. You are allow to communicate with your partner during game play.

@wplong1 4 года назад

Howard is correct. It doesn't have anything to do with side of the court or anything else. Came up in a club championshiop match this year when one of our opponents yelled out "Watch Out!" as my partner set up to hit an overhead. It was also recently discussed in Tennis magazine's Court of Appeal. From the USTA Rules and Regulations: Talking when ball is in play. Singles players should not talk during points. Talking between doubles partners when the ball is moving toward them is allowed. Doubles players should not talk when the ball is moving toward their opponent’s court. When talking interferes with an opponent’s ability to play a ball, it is a hindrance. For example, if a doubles player hits a weak lob and yells “get back” and the yell distracts an opponent who is about to hit the ball, then the opponent may claim the point based on a deliberate hindrance. If the opponent chooses to play the lob and misses it, the opponent loses the point because the opponent did not make a timely claim of hindrance. For example, if a player yells after an injury or getting stung by a bee, this is an unintentional hindrance that would entitle the opponent to claim a let.

@raysouthard7743 4 года назад

Yes, I agree. The phone rule and catching an out ball are rarely called in a "social" tennis match, but you better believe opponents will call it during a USTA or league match.

@EssentialTennis 4 года назад

Yup! Really important to know!!

@LarzB 4 года назад

In any match that involves playing for rating you better not catch the ball as on any level people will take that point. The phone rarely will happen, but if it would happen twice in one match, i think it would be called. In a rating match i had an opponent who asked permission to leave his phone on as his pregnant wife could call him for an emergency. I of course didn't mind, that's the social thing to do.

@Android18uk 4 года назад

If the ball is clearly miles out, fair enough. But you get some people who like catch or stop the ball when it's going to land near the baseline, and then say it was going out, which is just not on and then I would mention this rule.

@bertys301 4 года назад

I play amater league and catch ball that is clearly out all the time ... never ever anyone called this rule ... when you standing on base line or outside and ball coming higher then your waist area I don't see any reason not to catch it ... No normal person would made problem out of that .....

@joellahrman4557 4 года назад

Maybe nobody has a problem with it, the same way after-work golf leagues might let you pick up a 12-inch putt, but you are absolutely breaking the rule. Casual tennis with friends is one thing but any sort of organized match is different. The first USTA match I ever played, to save myself from chasing it I caught a ball coming back to me that was line drive, level with my head, and I was on the baseline. My opponent let me have the point because he knew it was my first match, but he (accurately) told me you cannot catch the ball like that in any organized match. I haven't done it since, no matter how far out the ball is going to be.

During a doubles match in college I once caught the ball with edge of my racket on a serve and drove the ball into the non receiving player’s groin. Looked very painful. Both coaches happened to be watching the point too. We let the guy recover and I claimed the point because the ball hit a player before it hit the ground. That’s the rule.

@@jrmanit I just looked at the ITF rules and 24i says "the point is lost if: the ball in play touches the player or anything the player is wearing or carrying except the racket..." That's in the "serving" section of the rule book. It doesn't say "except if it hits the non-receiving player." It's just like if I hit it out and they catch the ball or it hits them (whether by accident or on purpose) they lose the point. I wasn't happy about it, it just happened.

@jhampdoc 4 года назад

Let's do it! #1 Totally legal and any player can call it--except if a player see's it, decides not to call it, then on the verge of losing the point, decides to call a "let." #2 Not sure...maybe it's been added as part of the code, past 2015 when I last saw it?, It may fall into the "hinderance" rule (i.e., in the middle of a shot, a phone rings and distracts the player--think a let should be called just to be friendly). If the code has been updated, then player could probably call a point if a phone rings. I find ringtones the most distracting. LOL. #3 Totally true--doesn't count though if no swing was made and just a bad toss! #4 True--although I usually start tagging people if they are getting super aggressive with their stance position #5 True--happens in USTA play all the time. It's technically your point, but when I coached high school, I would tell my players to warn the other player not to do that and if it happens again, start calling it as your point. Most were just honestly didn't know that rule or the "reach around" rule. #6 Mixed--you are allowed to communicate, but only while the ball is on YOUR side of the court (i.e., you can't yell SHORT when your opponent is about to hit a ball). #7 Very true--and often hilarious when the ball changes trajectory. Glad to see you guys are all well! Funny rule that I had to enforce one time. Was coaching high school tennis and opposing team was foot faulting badly (like a good 1-2' inside the baseline on the serve). My players warned him, then started calling points. Parents of the opposing team protested, saying "only the server can call their own foot faults." LOLOL.

Slight change to 6. Believe it doesn’t matter which side the ball is on, what matters which direction the ball is moving.

As another high school tennis coach, I'd caution people about the foot fault thing. In one state I coached in, the returner could only ask for a line judge to watch foot faults. You can't call them from across the court.

"hit the shot from the opponent's court" -- Not true. You may hit the shot from the opponent's side of the net (either by reaching over or by running around the net), but you are not permitted to step into the opponent's court. Any time you (or your racquet) touch the opponent's side of the court before the point is over, you lose the point. For example, you can't keep yourself from falling into the net by reaching over the net with your racquet and supporting yourself on it...because your racquet is thereby touching the opponent's court.

I'd love to see part 2 of what not to do, so entertaining! 1. Serve must bounce first 2. Cannot touch the net, unless singles game and player touches doubles side of net 3. Opposing side cannot make line calls 4. Cannot wait too long to call ball out 5. Cannot miss a lob and then call hindrance way after a grunt or noise from opposing team 6. Cannot call foot fault after returning the serve 7. Receiving person cannot claim point when hit with the ball. Fair play although not nice 8. Cannot hit ball with any body part, must use racket 10. Cannot use banned rackets 11. Cannot toss or throw racket to return a ball 12. Player must wait until ball crosses plane of net. Crossing plane to finish shot is okay. Okay to hit on other side if ball first bounces then spins back, as long as net is not touched 13. On serve, ball cannot bounce before hitting. Server must drop and hit or toss and hit without a bounce 14. Player cannot hit through the net 15. Server must have both feet between center line and singles baseline width; or center line and doubles baseline width if playing doubles 16. Server sets the pace for the next point 17. Cannot exceed allotted rest time between games and sets (exceptions apply for bathroom and medical timeout) 18. Spectators cannot make any calls whatsoever (in, out, legal, double hit, score correction, etc) And two of my fav legal shots... a. Player can hit around obstacles and the ball does not have to cross over net b. Player can hit in any fashion as long as ball bounces once and only racket is used to touch the ball (tweener, high jump, over shoulder, etc)

There is also another interesting rule I learned. If you hit a player with the serve in doubles, even the partner not receiving the serve, it is the servers point. Also you can hit the ball with racquet over the net if the ball lands and spins back or wind blows it back across , the only time you are allowed however you can not be touching the net when you do it.

@TCSkiFilms 2 года назад

I love the rule about winning the point if your opponent gets hit by the serve. I have a fairly fast serve and if the opponent or opponents as in doubles, start hugging on the service box or leaning into it etcetera, I will deliberately drive my serve right at that person. If they are friend of mine I don't hit it that hard but, if they are a douchebag I will serve as hard as I can.

The text after bullet points is from the Tennis Code of Conduct. • Talking between doubles partners when the ball is moving toward them is allowed. • Doubles players should not talk when the ball is moving toward their opponent’s court. • When talking interferes with an opponent’s ability to play a ball, it is a hindrance. So Rule 6 in the video is wrong, because they were talking when the ball was moving towards them. • Let due to unintentional hindrance. A player who is hindered by an opponent’s unintentional act or by something else outside the player’s control is entitled to a let only if the player could have made the shot had the player not been hindered. So Rule 1 is wrong: the guy would not be able to call let because of the ball rolling in because he had no chance to get back into the point after falling. At first I thought Rule 2 also fell under this "unintentional hindrance," but I see now that a specific rule for cell phones has been added to the rules, so Rule 2 is correct.

@gigmanazmt2952 4 года назад

USTA rule is that anyone can call a let if a ball from another court rolls anywhere onto your court. Has nothing to do with whether or not the ball is played or not.

@MarshallFisher 4 года назад

GIGman azmt I see now you’re right that there is a separate rule for balls rolling on court, and it says what you say. However, all experienced players know that it would be considered downright scurrilous, absolutely awful sportsmanship, to call a let for a ball rolling on court just as opponent is putting away an easy overhead, or while you’re lying on the ground unable to recover, as in this funny video.

@@MarshallFisher Why is following the rules considered awful sportsmanship?

@MarshallFisher 2 года назад

@@Left-Foot-Brake Because if you have no chance of winning the point, like the guy in the video, why should you get a let for a ball rolling on court? That let rule was designed for when a ball rolls on court and *disrupts* the point. If you had no chance of getting back into the point, you should say so and not call a let.

@feeltheslipstream Год назад

@@MarshallFisher this gives the opponent a freeroll. If he for some reason misses the easy put away, he can call a let. Fairest way is to let both sides call a let when event x happens.

@victorvasquezecheverriavas1298 4 года назад

What a great video! It made me laugh a lot, especially the part that you can't catch the ball. The rule that you cannot speak to your partner is ill-founded. it is allowed in doubles to talk to your partner as long as the ball is on your court, if you speak when the ball is on your opponent's court there if it is considered hindrance. Now regarding receiving the service and standing where they see fit, it's fine as long as they don't make foot noises or the player on the net waves their racket or talks to their partner. (That's why it's called a sneak attack. by federer and no loud attack) again very good video, congratulations guys

@seregener 4 года назад

Actions taken solely to distract your opponent are forbidden, but foot noises incidental to your moving prior to the serve are legal.

@victorvasquezecheverriavas1298 4 года назад

Case 5 The receivers can take any position on theiir side of the net HOWEVER if a player is creating an hindrance to the opponent, the hindrance rule should be used. 2020 itf tennis rules.

@victorvasquezecheverriavas1298 4 года назад

In my club there are some players who make loud noise with the shoe intentionally to distract (tap loud), or speak loudly "watch out the double fault....", that is considered hindrance.

@arashbadiee6714 4 года назад

Jayme Bruno again, not everyone knows this so how are they supposed to know it in the first place. Now after reading, maybe they know it and can play better now. That wasn’t very well thought out.

@MartinJohnZ 4 года назад

I've never met a player that thinks you're not allowed to switch sides. But I've seen plenty of players that refuse to switch sides. Fun thing to do: Hit a lob over the net player, watch his partner chase down the ball, while the net player refuses to switch sides and stands there like a tall immovable tree.

@Kdiggity_Xx 3 года назад

ViperVenomHD I think Jayme Bruno was thinking he meant you could switch ends of a court in doubles... which I think you can do that too though. I’ve seen one of the doubles partner go to the other end and hit it back to his partner as if he was on the opposing team. Only when they are playing around during a point though. Please correct me if I’m wrong here.

I lost a key point that cost me the match in a tournament, when a guy hit a bad overhead off my weak lob, and it hit me in the foot ten feet behind the baseline. I called it on myself. It would have put me up a set and 5-3, serving for the match. He came back, won the game, and the match. I tried to move my foot when I saw it was going to hit me, but I had hurt my knee, and it spasmed.....

You can hit the non-receiver and win the point, I have seen that. You can receive where you want but the ball has to hit the court. It's like catching the ball. Their point.

@juliehemmings1315 4 года назад

@Michael Jones that goes against the tennis rules. I can see that the opponent can aggressively stand in a position to put pressure on the server so the server chokes. I think it's fair to hit the receiver in those situations and don't see it as unsportsmanlike.

@DouglasWStevens 4 года назад

Assumption #1: USTA/ITF Rules are being applied. 1) Was thinking the "cell phone ringing"; was not sure if its a new rule in USTA or just a local league rule. But more than likely that there this is a new rule. 2) Now thinking its the communicating with your partner as a hindrance. Believe this is permissible, only when the ball is traveling towards your side. When the ball is traveling towards the opponent's side of the court, then its consider an outburst; therefore a hindrance. (I've been known to yell out, "short" when hitting a short lob to the opponent at the net. Mostly for saving my partner from getting pegged; not trying to hinder the overhead shot.) 3) Nice editing on the ball catch behind the curtain ;) Looking forward to seeing the result!!! Other rules which have been debated more than once during matches; or pet peeve. A) Foot faults (seriously, probably one of the most contentious issues at the lower levels) B) Breaking the plane of the net to hit the ball before crossing over; versus, crossing the plane, with a follow-through, stroke after making contact with the ball. C) The "double-bounce" is supposedly only called on yourself; not called by the opponent. D) Opponent calls the ball out before it actually lands out. (This happens more so with inexperience players who are not familiar with how differently the ball travels with heavy topspin.) (Personal rule, 99% out is still 100%; if I have the slightest doubt if its out, it should be called "in." Other school of thought, "when in doubt call it out." - pet peeve)

@pradeep19821000 2 года назад

Suppose during service , when opponents reciver and reciever partner are at base line, after ball bounces in opposite sevice box then spins towards service partner .can reciever partner recieve that serve? What I mean is can reciver partner recieve the serve when ball comes to him instead of reciver after bouncing in service box?
