If the ball hits the net on a serve and it still goes over and lands on the other side of the service box then it is called a "let". If the ball its the net and does not go over, or into the service box then it called a "vault". The worst thing a player can do is double vault, which means they missed the service box twice in a row.

It is called a "let" and does not count as either a legal serve or a fault. There are other forms of a 'let' or uncounted serve: when an opponent is not ready; when another ball, person, animal, or foreign object enters the court during a serve; or when an umpire overrules a previous stoppage of play during a serve.

What is it called when the ball hits the top of the net Isn't this considered a net. Which means you play a let. Isn't a let when a ball rolls on to your court?

A let is a service where the ball touches the net and lands in the correct service court of the opponent. The service is invalid and done over but there is no penalty. A player may serve an unlimited number of lets without penalty. A service that touches the net and lands in the server's court is called a fault.

What does let ball mean in tennis?

In tennis, a let can be called for multiple reasons. One reason for a let to be called is if a serve lands in the correct service box, but hits the net first. A let will be called and the server will serve again. Another reason for a let to be called is if something disrupts play or presents a hazard. An example of this would be a ball from another court rolling onto a tennis court while a point is being played.
