Tonight while playing tennis, something happened that I have never seen before. I returned a shot to my opponent's side of the court. The ball dropped just a foot or so over the net, then incredibly after taking one bounce on his side, the ball returned back onto my side of the court without ever having been touched by my opponent. Unthinkingly I did not return it back to his side because my initial instinct was that it was my point since the ball bounced on his side and he didn't get to it,.... but then I realized that since it ended up on my side of the court, it may actually work in my opponent's favor. I gave him the point, but we are both left wondering what the correct ruling is.
