Do you lose the point in tennis if your racket crosses over the net?

Question

Who wins the point if you don't hit the ball while over the net and you never touch the net? You just reach over and then come back to your side without touching anything.

Answer 1

you lose the point if any part of your body or racket crosses over the net

Answer 2

That's legal, so the point continues as normal.

You can even hit the ball if it has already bounced on your side (say someone hits a freakish drop shot and it hits on your side and bounces back over the net).

You lose the point only if:

You or your racket touch the net
OR
You hit the ball before it crosses over onto your side of the net.

Answer 3

I'm not quite sure, but i think that if the ball has so much spin on it that it bounces over the net, then back onto you're opponants side, you can hit the ball. If you don't touch the net you should be fine, but if you don't touch the ball or you touch the net, i think that you'd lose that point.

Answer 4

Play continues as normal, you do not lose the point, unless your reaching over the net hinders your opponent from playing the ball. If you hinder your opponent deliberately (stick your racket in their face) with the reach then you lose the point. If you hinder your opponent involuntarily (like on a follow through) then the point is replayed.

Answer 5

You lose points if you or your racket touches the net.

Answer 6

sad to say but you do lose the point, but only if the raquet touches. Besides. you wouldnt want to reach over, just incase the ball doesnt even go over the net. hope this helps you out
