What Is a Let in Tennis?
Sometimes a serve touches the net and still gets another chance.
A let in tennis usually means the serve touched the net but landed in the correct service box, so the serve is replayed.
A let is called when a serve clips the net and still lands in the correct service box. In that case, the serve does not count as a fault and the server tries again. Lets can also be called when play is interrupted by something outside the players' control. For viewers, the most familiar let is the serve that hits the tape, drops in, and gets replayed instead of winning or losing the point.
