1. Player A plays a boast and the ball hits his opponent on its
way from the side wall to the front wall.
2. Player A plays the ball and on his follow through strikes his
opponent with his racket. The opponent asks for a let.
3. Player A serves the ball and you (the ref.) think that it
might have touched the line. At the end of the rally which the
server won the opponent asks for a let on the service.
4. A player breaks her racket during a rally and asks for a let.
What is your decision and how long has the player to replace her
racket?

the wrong side.
6. A player returns the ball down the centre of the court and
