When the ball hits the tennis racket, topspin (preffered stroke of tennis) makes the ball spin. The upward motion of the racket hitting the tennis ball.
it doesn't matter where your tennis racket is just as long as it hits the tennis ball
If the ball only touched the racquet....the ball is good.
There are two sides to the stringing pattern within the head of a tennis racket. The side of the stringing pattern which is used to strike the tennis ball is called the racket face. An easy way to remember this is to think of the racket "face" as having eyes. Eyes are a normal part of a face. The eyes of the racket face must see the approaching tennis ball, just prior to string-to-ball contact. I always use a black permanent marker pen to draw a face with eyes, nose, and a mouth on my teaching tennis racket.
In tennis, when a player hits the ball with their racket, they exert a force on the ball (action), which in turn results in the ball exerting an equal and opposite force back on the racket (reaction) according to Newton's third law of motion. This interaction between the player and the ball is an example of Newton's third law in action.
If a tennis ball hits the line, it is considered in.
In tennis, if the ball hits the line, it is considered in bounds and the point is still in play.

A tennis ball, when impacted, dissipates about 45% of the energy applied to it. This means that it only absorbs and returns 55% of that energy. That is why in the test standard for tennis balls, dropping it from 100 inches, it only rebounds 53 to 58 inches. It is returning that much energy. The strings of the racket, however, return 90% of the energy they are impacted with. So, when the tennis ball hits the strings and they stretch (absorb the energy), they will return 90% of that force in the return of the ball. When a ball hits strings with a higher tension, the force is exerted on the ball, instead of the strings, and the energy return is closer to the 55% range.

It doesn't happen often but i have managed to doublehit a few times in all my years of tennis. Literally you hit the ball twice with one swing. Usually you hit the frame of the racket and, as you follow thru, you hit the ball again. The doublehit occurs within a split second. It is fairly rare. You do not lose the point if you doublehit unless it is deliberate.
