In my 4.0 doubles league match the opponent hit a serve down the T that was close, but I couldn't tell so I played it and hit a solid return winner. Immediately after my partner and I start changing return positions, but the server says something like "wasn't my serve out?" and my partner says "I didn't call it or see if very well, but I guess so" and the server then goes to hit a 2nd serve.
What should I have done?
I'm extremely bad at line calls, but to me it seemed close enough that I thought it was in towards the back of the line. Isn't the rule that unless the ball is called out you should play it?
Once my partner gave his sheepish "I guess so" is that the same as agreeing the ball was in? If it was clearly out I'd think my partner would have called it.
Obviously I can't do anything about it now, but what's the rule?
