SPORTS LETTERS: Advantage receiver
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.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,
