What is net in tennis?
'Net' is a term referring only to serves in tennis. If your ball hits the net on a serve and still lands within the correct service box, your opponent calls 'net', which means you are allowed to take your serve over. This applies to both first or second serves. If you continuously get 'net's, you would basically be serving for forever. However, if your serve hits the net and bounces anywhere outside of the correct service box, it is considered out. Once again, 'net' is only called during serves. During the actual rally, the net plays no real role. If it hits the net and goes in, it's in. If it hits the net and goes out, it's out.
