    Hai friends
    This is my first post in this forum and regarding a silly doubt that may not occur in normal circumstances.
    My doubt is what happen if a player serve verticaly and hit the receivers partner. Recevers partner in the other court side ( receiver in A side of court and partner in B side)

    It is a fault by the receiver's partner:
    As with any fault, the opposing team – in this case the server's team – gets the point.

    And, of course, we usually say 'the shuttlecock' or abbreviate it as 'the shuttle'.

    I once saw a tennis clip somewhere. The server served into the wrong side of the court right into the other partner's racket before touching the ground. The point went to the server. How lucky hahaha.

    Personally, I have experienced smashing the shuttle out. However, it so happened that my opponent lost balanced and slipped off the court. My shuttle touched him before the ground. He stared blankly at me. Gg.

    I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell this to you, but random websites on the Internet are not necessarily accurate. Also, a label EASY TO UNDERSTAND GUIDE (sic!) is generally not a marker of accuracy.

    I have left a comment on that website pointing out the errors. If in doubt, only trust the official BWF rules, and require people to cite the rule they are referring to.
