The official on the court told the coach that his player could not do this.
Was the official correct in their ruling?

Was The Official Right?
In an ITA men's dual match this past weekend, player A asked for a medical timeout. Since it was taking quite a while for the trainer to get to the court and with fairly cool temperatures, the coach of player B asked if his player could hit practice serves during the medical timeout for player A.

I would think that they could hit serves if they are not using the game balls and the treatment was off to the side of the court.
yes - All warm-up serves must be taken during the warm-up
GL is correct. No match balls.
What is the correct ruling? I think the original ruling was a correct one.
All warmup serves must be taken before match begins.
The player awaiting the treatment time out can exercise, shadow stroke, practice toss et al,
but cannot practice serves.
New balls, old balls, blue balls,
No Serve Practice during stoppage of play.
Read first sentence; FAC regulation.
Define "Warm up".
Warm up is prior to the start of counting points. Once competition for points, games, sets begins, it is match play.
You are not correct. A player may take practice serves. And yes "balls" make a difference. You cannot use match balls.
