Glossary of tennis terms

2612:: A call that requires the point to be replayed. The umpire indicates this type of let by announcing "Let. First serve", or "Let. Second serve." Lets typically occur when an otherwise-valid serve makes contact with the net before hitting the ground. Theoretically, a player could serve an unlimited number of otherwise-valid let serves, but a serve that touches the net and then lands out of bounds counts as one of the two allowed serves. A let can also be called during play when there is some distraction to either player not caused by the players themselves, such as a ball boy moving behind a receiver, debris flying across the court in windy conditions, or a ball accidentally falling out of a player's pocket or entering from a neighboring court. The call is made by the chair umpire when one is assigned to the match, as in professional matches, or one of the players when there is no chair umpire. When a receiver is legitimately unprepared for a serve, a let is technically the result, even if the word goes unspoken. 1794:"): ATP Tour 250 Tournaments qualify for one (1) emergency substitution if the following conditions exist : i) Two (2) of the tournament's top four (4) seeds on the original acceptance list withdraw; and ii) One (1) of the withdrawals involves the first or second seeded player; and iii) The substitute player (1) meets a minimum of one (1) of the following criteria: 1.
