ATP Board Approves Some Rule Changes
At
its recent meetings in New York, the ATP Board of Directors approved a
rule change and a trial for the 2013 season, both proposed by the new
ATP Competition Committee.
From 2013, on both the ATP World Tour and ATP Challenger Tour, a time
violation between points (25 seconds) will be penalized in the first
instance with a warning. For the second and all subsequent violations,
the penalty will be a fault for the server and a point penalty for the
receiver. Currently, the rule is a warning and then point penalty for
both the server and receiver.
