Say I'm about to serve a 2nd serve. As I start the point I notice a ball on my side of the court. It must have been my 1st serve that rolled back in but stopped before I served. I just didn't notice it while because I was already in motion.
My opponent has already hit the return in the direction of the ball. I return his shot and right afterwards I pick up the ball and put it in my pocket because I didn't want to trip on it. Opponent stops the point and calls a let.
Is he able to call a let since the ball was already on the court? He said watching me pick up the ball was a hindrance and a let should be called.
It didn't matter to me. I was more than happy to replay the point but I just wanted to get verification on this in case it does happen in the future.
