Playing doubles, I received my opponent's serve and returned it for a winner. The point gave me and my partner the game. We were both moving towards our respective positions to start the new game with me serving when we noticed that the opponents were kind of talking to each other and the server said that the serve had hit the net and he was calling a let. We said we didn't hear a let. The server asked his partner if he had heard it and after a slight hesitation he said he had. At that point I asked the guy at net if he had called a let and he said no, I asked him again, "Did you hear it?" and he said "yes", I said, "did you call it?" and he said "no". My partner and I felt it was the responsibility for the guy at the net to had made the call if he in fact had heard it since he was the one closest to have heard it (my partner at the net did not hear it) something that he failed to do. We ended up wining the argument but the opponents were not happy. Opinions?
