Misconduct of officials and public during a match

Please fill in an answer

I have encountered a situation recently when a player who is serving, having entered the box with his opponent ready to receive, then proceeds to bounce the ball about 10 times before he serves, causing the receiver considerable frustration. Under the 2019 singles rules would such conduct fall within the delaying of play rule, and merit a warning. Many thanks for your assistance. Yours, David Brettell

a number of the questions come up with a response "Please fill in an answer". I see that one of those is mine, yet I had received an answer by email from WSF. Why would this not update the response in this Q&A section?

Any chance my most recent questions posted in the 3-4 weeks will receive an answer? I'm looking at one of the questions as i write this and can't help but shake my head. It starts off with "a number of the questions come up with a response "Please fill in an answer...". And when I click the down arrow, guess what, the answer is "Please fill in an answer".

the striker wants to play the ball which coming from right side wall , in the moment which the striker wants to play the ball (using 4 hand not back hand ) the nonstriker was at the T and made the front wall interfernce ?

If the nonstriker is preventing the shot directly to the front wall he will have a Stroke awarded against him

In case a player is injured in the rest time between 2 games . Can he ask for time to check up or he has to be in court to ask for the injury break

I am not sure how a player can sustain an injury during the game interval.

An injury needs to occur during play so that it is obvious that something has in fact happened.

The referee will need to determine whether the injury is genuine and then what type of injury such as self-inflicted or contributed.

This will determine the amount of injury time that the referee will allow. If it happens at the end of a game then the injury time allowed will include the game interval time.
