Question...
I play with a guy that uses my fault serves as a chance to practice his returns.
He also calls fault as he’s swinging. Sometimes I cant tell if it’s a grunt or not.
Over time, if my serve is close, I often cannot tell if he’s called a fault or not and Im left guessing or assuming he didnt. It’s a mental distraction.
I dont hit the hardest serve. So it’s not like he’s returning simply because he’s physically commited and cant get the words out fast enough. He’s literally using the opportunity to practice & stay in a rhythm. Even on super obvious faults.
Is this taboo? What are the official rules on this sort of behavior?
