What are we saying on the podcast that our guest Gin believes is incorrect? We may be giving the wrong advice (or are we just nice)?

In this episode Gin doesn’t hold back on her thoughts about the contentious issue of claiming a first serve after minor disturbances. Is it fair or just a sneaky way to gain an upper hand? Gin compares this to the absurdity of retaking a missed free throw in basketball, sparking a lively discussion on the need for clearer guidelines. Together, we uncover how the lack of clarity in rules can lead to frustration and inconsistency on the court.
