A server is entitled to continue serving until he or his side makes an out. When the server or the serving side loses the serve, they become the receiver or receiving side, and the receiving side becomes the serving side; and so alternately in all subsequent services of the game. Outs are made by:
Out serve
Fault serves
The server makes two fault serves before executing a legal serve under Rule 4.3C.
Hits partner
The server hits his partner with an attempted return.
Return failure
The server or his partner fails to keep the ball in play by returning it as required by Rule 4.4C.
Avoidable hinder
The server or his partner commits an avoidable hinder (See Rule 4.8).
Second out
In doubles, the side is retired when both partners have been put out, except on the first serve as provided in Rule 4.2A.
