Even though the foot fault occurs before the out serve, the out serve penalty takes precedence and shall be enforced. Another example: A server foot faults when contacting the ball and the ball does not hit the front wall first. Again, the out serve penalty should be enforced. For this reason, a referee should wait until after the ball is served to call a foot fault.
In doubles, the server should not be called out if his partner intentionally catches the ball in self-defense. However, if the server's partner catches a served ball that otherwise would not have hit him, an out is the proper call.
