By let, I mean the traditional let of the ball hitting the net and bouncing in.
The server can call a net ball, but its up to the receiver to call the ball in or out.
The Code said:Any player may call a service let. The call shall be made before the return of serve goes out of play, or is hit by the server or server's partner.
But it was one of those matches without a single disputed call.
You can call whatever you want, just you don't have jurisdiction over it. I call my service fault for center line it's hard one to see for a returner. It's a game not an occupation for most of us. I also inquire about dodgy fault calls, but don't do anything other than inquire. You should call any out ball and let and play any uncertain ball as in.

Not according to the rule books I've read. A server can't over rule a fault call by the receiver. He can argue but the receiver has the call. The side playing the ball always has the justification over the ball they're playing. A net is on no side and can be called by either.This is wrong.
Absolutely, the returners really struggle with the center line. If I miraculously get my first serve going the return ends up further back than me from the service line as well. I don't play clear faults just because the opposition somehow arsed a return and decided to play it as a result. Most players are happy to have unreturned big serves called as fault.Not on first serves I hope.

Any ball I see out is called out, any ball I can't see gets played in. That's my rules and I live by them and I rarely have arguments as a result. But I'd win more often if I didn't and effectively cheated, I'd also make 100x more cash as a result, which is about $0.
2. Your opponent hit the return for a winner. Don't call the serve out.
