Q. In a recent doubles match, my partner and I were down 4-5 and I was
serving at 30-40 in the third set. I hit a good first serve and the other
player returned a floater at the net to my partner. He hit a sharp volley to
the baseline. Both of the other players looked at each other and one person
called it in and the other couldn't make a call, so the point was ours. My
partner, who hit the ball, over-ruled them and said "no it was out".....game
/set/match. It was a very close shot, and we obviously didn't have as good a
look at it as they did.
1. Can I over-rule my partner?
2. Does my partner even get a say in it?
A. This is a case where your partner's sportsmanship showed up at a crucial
time. He most likely had the clearest view of the shot and in good conscious
enlisted himself in aiding the call. The code states that a player can call
his own shots out (with the exception of the first serve). A player should
call against himself any ball the player clearly sees out regardless of
whether requested to do so by the opponent.
The prime objective in making calls is accuracy. All players should
cooperate to attain this objective.
