Rule Research
In a doubles match I called a double bounce on my opponent’s shot, but he claimed that only the hitter could make that call. He based this on a previous match where an opponent ticked the ball before his partner hit it, but an official ruled that only the player who ticked the ball could call it. I thought both cases are like calling a let, and that anyone on the court can call the infraction. At the very least, I thought that it would be more sporting in a casual game to at least play a let if he disagreed with my call.
— Scot Morgan, Salt Lake City, UT
Think of it this way, the player (or team) directly involved, not just observing, makes the call (The Code, Item 19). In both cases, the first a double bounce and the second a touch, the player attempting the shot (or getting hit by the shot) is responsible for making the call. While it may seem sporting to play lets, imagine how long a match could last if you played a let every time you and your opponent disagreed on a call. That’s why we have The Code. Your opponent was correct. Source – Tennis.com *
Except where noted, answers are based on the ITF Rules of Tennis and
19. Touches, hitting ball before it crosses net, invasion of opponent’s court, double hits, and double bounces. A player shall concede the point when:
• A ball in play touches that player;
• That player touches the net or opponent’s court while a ball is in play;
• That player hits a ball before it crosses the net;
• That player deliberately carries or double hits a ball; or
• A ball bounces more than once in that player’s court. The opponent is not entitled to make these calls.
The principle of giving the opponent the benefit of any doubt applies.
If the ball lands clearly past the baseline and hits your opponent, do you win the point?

24 I Rules from Friend at Court
Code 19
Definition Ball in Play
Player loses point
Each player or team has a maximum of one bounce after the ball has been hit by their opponent to return the ball over the net and within the boundaries of the court. When a player then fails to return the ball into the correct court, the opponent wins a point. USTA.com
#Coman vs Tie Breaker
Under USTA Los Angeles Rules… Is a tie breaker done Coman or “regular?”
Official National Rules USTA rules just rec’d from my USTA Captain
The best of three sets with a 10-point match tiebreak in lieu of the third set will be used, unless a change is necessary due to unplayable conditions.
Page 41
the local tiebreak procedure shall be used to determine the winner of the team match. If no such local tiebreak procedure exists, Reg. 2.03H Procedures in the Event of a Tie shall be used in order to determine a winner of the team match.
Page 46
Coman Tiebreak Procedure: An alternative procedure that may be used with the Set Tiebreak or Match Tiebreak where ends are changed after the first point, then after every four points, and at the end of the Tiebreak. The scoring is the same as a traditional Set or Match Tiebreak. Beneficial in doubles as players continue to serve from
the same side as during the set. (See FRIEND AT COURT – Part 3: USTA Reg. I.E.(1)c.)Match Sets & Scoring

Scoring Tie Break USTA Southern CA
Here’s a simple solution…play better than your opponent…beat them before you need a tie break. Just this humble chair umpires opinion. 😂😂😂
Hello Team,
Below is a summary of local league rules. .
1. Scoring format for ALL Beach Cities Leagues shall be third set [Coman] Match Break . That’s mean in lieu of the third set, we play Match
Tiebreak: First player/ team to reach 10 points leading by 2 wins the match. No coaching, no new balls.
2. Match Time is DEFAULT time at any PUBLIC court facility.Best regards,
***Problem is, this isn’t really a citation. The “local” rules don’t say they are Beach Cities League or even USTA!
Well I found the beach cities league website and the rules are there
https://www.ustasocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Coman-Tiebreak-Procedure-1.pdf
What about these rules from New England USTA that state:
Coman Tiebreak Procedure
The Coman Tiebreak procedure is identical to the regular tiebreak procedure except that the players change ends after the first point and then after every four points until the conclusion of a tiebreak.
The Coman Tiebreak procedure is used for all tiebreaks played during a match.
That’s for New England, we are talking Nationally & Southern CA USTA. Note the League Reference Guide cited above says the 10 point Coman is only used in lieu of a 3rd Set
