G.O.A.T.
The NextGen ATP Finals features a no-let rule, where the point starts even if the ball just dribbles over the net.
People often compare this to a ball that hits the net during a regular rally, but it's fundamentally different. I had a coach that would say the serve is the only point that is completely within a player's control. Therefore, the server is at an advantage. In the pros, off of clay, this is arguably even more true.
In a rally, either player can benefit from the ball hitting the net, and you should generally be moving towards ball well before it hits the net. There's far more time to react and adjust. On the return, you have to start from a fixed point.
In short, why give the server yet another advantage by playing lets?
