Ball In Play
Rule 11
11. BALL IN PLAY (OLD 17)
Unless a fault or a let is called, the ball is in play from the moment the server hits the ball, and remains in play until the point is decided.
12. BALL TOUCHES A LINE (OLD 22)
If a ball touches a line, it is regarded as touching the court bounded by that line.
13. BALL TOUCHES A PERMANENT FIXTURE (OLD 23)
If the ball in play touches a permanent fixture after it has hit the correct court, the player who hit the ball wins the point. If the ball in play touches a permanent fixture before it hits the ground, the player who hit the ball loses the point.
14. ORDER OF SERVICE (OLD 15 & 35)
At the end of each standard game, the receiver shall become the server and the server shall become the receiver for the next game.
In doubles, the team due to serve in the first game of each set shall decide which player shall serve for that game. Similarly, before the second game starts, their opponents shall decide which player shall serve for that game.
The partner of the player who served in the first game shall serve in the third game and the partner of the player who served in the second game shall serve in the fourth game. This rotation shall continue until the end of the set.
