    Player who dropped the ball loses right to call a let. The opponent still can call a let. That is all.

    Leaving a racquet on the tennis court.

    Leaving a racquet on the tennis court. I know it for so long time that forgot where it came from : "When you leave a tennis court during a match "Junior USTA" you cannot take racquet with you. You must leave it on the court." Does anybody know the rule that describes this requirement.

    USTA playoff roaming officials out of control

    Let's do not mix up two different things. 1) Favor for HOME team is well know. I see it everywhere. 2) Calling of a foot-fault is important part of a game. I am glad that at least some referee pays attention to it without request from players.

    Calling a let on neighboring tennis court in USTA match.

    Following rules is the most appropriate thing to do during USTA event. If it is not a tournament match there is no reason to enforce USTA rules. Stop scaring people with a rolling ball ;)

    Calling a let on neighboring tennis court in USTA match.

    I what to understand why people believe that there is a "MUST STOP GAME" rule with respect to #18(or #19). I want to make sure that I am right when asking not to yell "ball on" players on the adjacent court.

    Calling a let on neighboring tennis court in USTA match.

    Old version 19. Lets called when balls roll on the court. When a ball from an adjacent court enters the playing area, any player shall call a let as soon as the player becomes aware of the ball. The player loses the right to call a let if the player unreasonably delays in making the call...

    Calling a let on neighboring tennis court in USTA match.

    Sorry I named the Poll incorrectly. It has to say unofficial (not official), since umpire must call a let in this case. But I have no option to modify the subject.

    Calling a let on neighboring tennis court in USTA match.

    Which means it forces them to call a let or in the other words someone else from outside of the court calls a let for them. Why do you say " they aren't obligated to"?

    Calling a let on neighboring tennis court in USTA match.

    Could you please be a little bit more specific about "It is not the same as calling a let" for this particular case. Let's say if I yell repeatedly "ball on" to guys playing on the court next to me, would it be considered as hindrance and as result will lead to a let?

    Would you considered to be a **** if you called foot faults
