Regolamento ITF, scaricato ora dal sito della federazione:
Qui il Paragrafo 11 che citi tu perfettamente:
11. BALL IN PLAY
Unless a fault or a let is called, the ball is in play from the moment the server hits the
ball, and remains in play until the point is decided.
Poi salto i punti che non ci interessano e arrivo al paragrafo 24, in particolare la voce "g":
24. PLAYER LOSES POINTThe point is lost if:a. The player serves two consecutive faults; or
b. The player does not return the ball in play before it bounces twice consecutively;
or
c. The player returns the ball in play so that it hits the ground, or before it bounces,
an object, outside the correct court; or
d. The player returns the ball in play so that, before it bounces, it hits a permanent
fixture; or
e. The receiver returns the service before it bounces; or
f. The player deliberately carries or catches the ball in play on the racket or
deliberately touches it with the racket more than once; or
g.
The player or the racket, whether in the player’s hand or not, or anything which
the player is wearing or carrying touches the net, net posts/singles sticks, cord or
metal cable, strap or band, or the opponent’s court at any time while the ball is in
play; or
h. The player hits the ball before it has passed the net; or
i. The ball in play touches the player or anything that the player is wearing or
carrying, except the racket; or
j. The ball in play touches the racket when the player is not holding it; or
k. The player deliberately and materially changes the shape of the racket when the
ball is in play; or
l. In doubles, both players touch the ball when returning it.
Io credo che la palla sia in gioco fino a che non rimbalza una seconda volta in campo, o contro un arredo permanente (voci "b" e "c" di questa lista): sino a quel momento si è soggetti a commettere fallo di invasione se si tocca la rete.
