BALL TOUCHES PERMANENT FIXTURES
If the ball in play touches a permanent fixture (other than the net, posts, singles sticks, cord or metal cable, strap or band) after it has hit the ground, the player who struck it wins the point; if before it hits the ground, his opponent wins the point.
| Case 1. | A return hits the Umpire or his chair or stand. The player claims that the ball was going into Court. |
| Decision. | He loses the point. |
