I recently played a Grand Prix leg in the UK. Serving at 2 nil up against a highly rated player the 'qualified umpire' called a let against my serve and announced if I stamp while serving again he would take a point. When you do stamp while doing one type of serve and you then can not you really loose the touch. Well I did and ended up losing my concentration/the match. Its nice would have been nice to have known about it before hand as apparently it is a new rule. Durinig the same GP I experienced the player from hell who shouted loudly after every point lost or won in self encouragement or self congratulation. That is perfectly acceptable according to the umpire. |
