SPORTS LETTERS: Advantage receiver

Advantage receiver

From Alan R Beresford

Sir: One idea to reduce the emphasis on power in tennis is to allow advantage to the receiver when a first serve is called out. Often the receiver hits a superb winning return but gains nothing. If the point were allowed so the receiver could claim advantage, would not this help tilt the balance towards accuracy?

Yours,
