Rule of the Week Question

At a recent USTA League match, my opponent won the toss and would not select side or service. He instead said he was electing to let me choose first. Is he allowed to do this?

Answer

Yes, the winner of a the toss actually has three choices. He or she may opt for side, service or receive, or have the opponent choose.
