Q: If during a double's match, I called a shot out, my partner played and called good. My partner's shot is in, should we replay the point or the opponent gets the point?

A: Under the "Code of Tennis" (which a match being played under without an official) If your call was corrected immediately, and your teams return was put back in play (a good shot) than the point is replayed. If your teams shot was not made back in play (a bad shot) than the opponents win point. And if your team's return on the corrected call resulted as a weak sitter to the other team which they put away for the point you should concede the point. Brian
