What does the term let mean in tennis?

Answer 1

Let in tennis is when a point has to be stopped because of a distraction in the middle of a point from something like a balls rolling on to the court. A let is also where the serve hits the net and goes over into the correct service box. This rule applies to everything but the lets in World Team Tennis and Division one mens college tennis.

Answer 2

A let occurs when a serve clips the top of the net and still lands in the appropriate box. The server is then awarded another attempt, so whatever serve the let occurred on (first or second), play is resumed from that position.

Answer 3

In tennis, a let ball can be called for several reasons. If a player's serve lands in the correct service box but hits the net first, a let is called and the player may serve again without penalty. A let may also be called if there is a danger or major distraction on the court (ex: a tennis ball from another court rolls onto a court during the play of a point).

Answer 4

It is something that is called in tennis when the reciever is prevented or distracted from returning their opponent's ball.

Answer 5

A let is a serve that hits the net but falls into the opponent's correct service court. The server is allowed to serve again and no penalty is given.
