Let serves

Rules

I just saw an article indicating that there could only be one consecutive let serve, and that the second would be a point for the receiver.  I always thought there could be many let serve in a row.

Which is correct?

Thanks.

Hi Marv,

You can definitely serve as many 'Lets' as you want without losing a point.
