Rules Quiz 5.

Question 5.
You are playing on a glass-back court. A high ball hits the very top of the glass, jumps up and comes back into the court, but you don't manage to hit it back onto the front wall. Do you lose the point, or is it a let?

Answer to Question 4 (tennis serve).
An overhead serve with a run-up is perfectly ok so long as the server has one foot on the floor in the service box when they hit the ball. Remember that the foot in the box mustn't touch a line and it must be on the floor - no jumping up to hit the ball is allowed (but they could jump then land and hit the ball - not sure why they might do that!).

Although these sorts of serve can look really good, remember that a squash ball comes back off the front wall at a fifth of the speed it hits it. So a 100 mile-per-hour serve turns into a much easier 20 mile-per-hour ball coming back to your side. A higher slower service can be much worse to deal with, so you shouldn't worry when you face this kind of serving (or try to copy it!).
