The Singles Game21. Player Hinders Opponent Case 1. Is a player liable to a penalty if in making a stroke he
touches his opponent? Case 2. When a ball bounds back over the net, the player
concerned may reach over the net in order to play the ball. What is the
ruling if the player is hindered from doing this by his opponent? Case 3. Does an involuntary double hit constitute an act which
hinders an opponent within Rule 21? USTA Comment: "Deliberate" means a player did what he intended to do, although the resulting effect on his opponent might or might not have been what he intended. Example: a player, after his return is in the air, gives advice to his partner in such a loud voice that his opponent is hindered. "Involuntary" means a non-intentional act such as a hat blowing off or a scream resulting from a sudden wasp sting. |
