What is Let in Tennis?

A replayed point. Most commonly a service let — the serve clips the net cord but still lands in the correct box — which is replayed without penalty. A let can also be called for outside interference, like a ball rolling onto the court.

Example: The umpire called a let when a ball from the next court interrupted the rally.
