You can lose a point in tennis for various things. Here are a few ways:

  • You hit the ball into the net
  • You hit the ball out
  • You fail to return the ball over the net
  • You fail to get your serve in on your first or second serve
  • Your opponent hits a winner
  • If you yell at your opponent using nasty phrases or words (resulting in a point penalty deduction)
  • If you yell at any of the line judges or ball boys (resulting in a point penalty deduction)

You can lose a point for double-faulting on your serve (not getting the ball in the service box after two tries), touching the net (you are not allowed to touch the net), or hitting the ball out.

YES. if hadn't touched the net (or any part of the opponent's court) he would not have lost the point automatically.

No, the point is lost only if your free hand touches the table, not your racket.

How quickly do tennis balls lose their bounce?

Tennis balls bounce because the air pressure inside is higher than the outside pressure. They begin to lose bounce as soon as removed from their pressure can. The alititude where the ball is played will affect the bounce. As they are played, they lose more bounce. Typically, they lose too much bounce to play after about 3 sets of recreational (amateur) tennis, or 8 games of professional tennis.
