What is a "let"?

In sports, particularly tennis, "let" refers to a situation where a serve is interrupted and is replayed without penalty. This typically happens when the served ball touches the net but still lands in the correct service box. A let can also occur if there is an external disruption, such as a noise or obstruction during the serve. When a let is called, the point is not counted, and the player is allowed to serve again without any change to the score. It is essentially a reset of the serve, ensuring fairness.

Example

The umpire called a let when the ball hit the net during the serve.

Her serve was a let because someone in the crowd moved.

alquilar
