At an ATP event using no ad scoring for doubles one team selects their choice of side for the deciding point. A let is then called in the middle of the point and the point is to be replayed. Can the receivers now change their choice of side to return from?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
In a doubles match using no ad scoring, each team is allowed to choose their side for the deciding point. However, if a let is called in the middle of the point and the point is replayed, the receivers cannot change their choice of side to return from.

- A.
Replay the point
- B.
The point stands
Correct Answer
B. The point standsExplanation
The correct decision in this situation would be to let the point stand.

- A.
Player A wins point
- B.
Player B wins point

Player B wins the point. According to the rules of tennis, if the ball hits the netpost and continues into the opponent's court without being touched by the opponent, the player who hit the ball (Player A) loses the point. Since Player B cannot reach the ball, Player A's shot is considered out and Player B is awarded the point.Rate this question:

- B.
You do not allow the treatment – this type of injection is not allowed
- C.

Allow the player to leave court to get contact lenses- 5 minutes maximum
- B.
Allow the player to leave court to get contact lenses- 15 minutes maximum
- C.
Allow the player to leave court to get contact lenses - “Reasonable time” allowed
Correct Answer

Allowing him to leave the court and change his glasses to contact lenses ensures that he can continue playing the match comfortably and without any hindrance. The specific time limit is not mentioned, but it is expected that the player will return within a reasonable time frame to resume the match.Rate this question:

Singles match at an ITF Women’s Circuit event. A player loses her service game and requests a toilet break at 3-2 in the final set. This player has taken one (1) previous toilet break during this match. After a discussion with the player, the Chair Umpire allows the player to leave the court and informs the player that she is leaving the court on her own time and that delays will be penalised with back-to-back time violations. This is the correct way to handle the situation.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The correct way to handle the situation is False. The player has already taken one toilet break during the match, and according to the rules, players are only allowed one toilet break per match. Allowing the player to take another toilet break would be against the rules. Additionally, the Chair Umpire informing the player that delays will be penalized with back-to-back time violations is not the correct approach. The player should be given a reasonable amount of time for the toilet break, and any excessive delays can be penalized separately.Rate this question:
