APPENDIX K ITF RULES OF TENNIS The service is a let if: 22. THE LET DURING A SERVICE a.  The ball served touches the net, strap or band, and is otherwise good; or,  after touching the net, strap or band, touches the receiver or the receiver’s  partner or anything they wear or carry before hitting the ground; or b.  The ball is served when the receiver is not ready. In the case of a service let, that particular service shall not count, and the  server shall serve again, but a service let does not cancel a previous fault. Additional approved alternative procedures can be found in Appendix V. In all cases when a let is called, except when a service let is called on a second  service, the whole point shall be replayed. Ca se 1: When the ball is in play, another ball rolls onto court. A let is called. The  server had previously served a fault. Is the server now entitled to a first service or  second service? 23.
