I learned early on that the ball must bounce to be considered out, including serves.
You or your partner end up hitting the opposing player on serve by a ball that was clearly not going in.
This can happen in both singles and doubles. More likely in doubles, as a wide serve may hit the up/net player inside the court.
If this happens. technically you win the point.
In high school I remember winning a match point like this. after my partner's 1st serve flat sailed and hit the opponent in the foot when he jumped up (at the baseline).
But now, it feels a bit like bad sportsmanship taking that point, esp if one of them got hit hard or somewhere bad.
