How Would You Rule? Loss of Point or Winner?
In a boys' doubles match, player A hits an overhead that hits the rim of the racket. The ball goes into player B's court but hits the ground with a lot of spin and then bounces back over the net and hits player A in the groin.
Player B wins the point. Player A cannot touch the ball while it is in play. It must bounce twice.
ReplyDeletePlayer B wins the point. When the ball spun back over the net it was still in play. By touching Player A it never had a chance to land fair or foul.
ReplyDeleteI must agree with the other two comments.

ReplyDeleteI think that Player B should of tried to hit one of the balls. Loss of opportunity to PLAYER B

Player A's point. Unless A somehow hindered B in touching the ball. Then it would be B's point. Back spin or wind can't make the play for you.
ReplyDeletePlayer B wins the point since the ball was still live and in reality Player A hindered B from having a play on the shot.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the player yelling out "fagot" and not getting immediately defaulted?
