Hi Alois

I was wondering is there such thing as a second serve.  Just say if I served the ball it hit the net and it went over will that be the other persons point do I have to serve it again.

Hi Enoch,

This is called a "Let".  You never lose a point for serving a let so even if you serve 10 lets in a row it is still a let and you need to serve again.
