For example, they&#8217;ve no qualm of exiting through another court while the ball is still in play in that court.

He served without hesitation, anyway. After the point was over, his captain who happened to there watching, said, &#8220;When they hold up paddle, you need to wait.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hmmmm&#8230; even you don&#8217;t know this rule, but should know common courtesy, don&#8217;t you? If the player isn&#8217;t in position, you wait.<\/p>\n<p>The second match, down to the wire again.<\/p>\n<p>When I was serving, Rich said he wasn&#8217;t looking.

Being by the kitchen line, there isn\u2019t a room for me to cut in and hit back at a better angel or faster pace.
