    If two players meet at 5-5 and one of them wins the next game to take to 6-5 or 5-6, they win the set. Is this true or false?

    • True, because the player captured 6 total games, which is the number of games needed to accumulate in order to win a set

    • False, because the player captured 6 total games, and they must win 8 games in order to win a set

    • True, because when the score was 5-5 previously, this then states that players are now required to win 6 games in order to win a set

    Imagine that the server foot-faults on their 1st serve (which is the act for when the server crosses his/her front or back shoe crossing OVER the baseline PRIOR TO MAKING contact with the ball to serve); the rules say that he/she loses one serve each time a server gets called out for foot-faulting. But however, after being called once for foot faulting, they yet foot-fault AGAIN on their 2nd serve before playing out that exact same point. What are two things that just happened here?

    • They lose their 1st serve and now have to serve a 2nd serve. And since they foot-faulted on their 2nd serve right after being called once for foot-faulting, they are still given another opportunity to keep their 2nd serve and try again to not foot-fault.

    • They lose their 1st serve and now have to serve a 2nd serve. And since they foot-faulted on their 2nd serve right after being called once for foot-faulting, they now lose the point.

    • They keep their 1st serve again. And since they foot-faulted again, they now lose the point.

    • They keep their 1st serve again. And since they foot-faulted again, they now get a 2nd serve.
