RULE OF TENNIS
Suggested Revision London, Oct. 5. “I have always thought the netcord often plays too important a part in deciding matches,” writes Sir Gordon Lowe, the ex-champion and former Davis Cup player, in the “Star,” commenting on the suggestion that the shot should be ignored. “Clearly the rule ought to be altered from a scientific point of view, because the netcord shot, particularly when it scrambles over, is often the result of a thoroughly bad shot, aimed low. “Personally, I would modify the rule, so that ‘netcords’ falling between the net and the service-line would be ‘lets, thus allowing deserving passing shots and drives just grazing the net to remain In play.”
