A fault is a term in tennis for a serve that lands outside the service box or hits the nets and lands outside the service box. When this occurs on two consecutive serves, it is called a double fault and the server's opponent wins a point.

A Double Fault is when players on opposing teams simultaneously commit fault, in which case there is a replay

Faults include:

  1. The ball touches the floor.
  2. The ball is held, thrown, pushed, or double hit.
  3. The ball is kicked.
  4. A player touches the net.
  5. A player completely crosses the center line and contacts the opponent's playing area.
  6. A player attacks the ball completely on opponent's side of net.
  7. A back row player, while in front of the 10-foot line, hits the ball into the opponent's court from above the height of the net.
  8. A ball does not cross the net entirely between the antennas.
  9. A ball hits the wall, curtain, backboard, or the posts or cables of the net.
  10. The ball hits the ceiling and lands on the defending team's side.
  11. Players stamp feet or make distracting sounds or gestures toward opponents.
  12. Illegally served ball or a service fault.
  13. Screening: A player on the serving team may not intentionally or unintentionally prevent an opposing player from seeing the server or the ball, or distract the opponent in any way during service.
