Yes, although I don't think this happens quite often! If anything that prevents or distracts you from recieving your opponent's balls, then a let must be called.

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.

I am pretty sure that a "Let" In tennis is when some one returns the ball and it hits the net. But im not exactly sure!
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.
