What is a "fault"?
A fault in tennis occurs when a player fails to serve the ball correctly. It happens if the server hits the ball out of bounds, into the net, or misses the service box completely. Each player is allowed two attempts to serve. If both attempts result in faults, it is called a double fault, and the player loses the point. A fault is considered an error and can disrupt the flow of the game, often leading to a change in momentum.
