If a person serves in singles, a high serve, they stand normally, racket foot back, but they step forward with their non-racket foot at the start of their serve, before they swing their racket forwards .
Is that a foul?
I'd have thought it depends on when their serve is considered to have started?
Is their serve considered to have started only when their racket swings forwards? In which case I'd have though tit's ok.
(And as a side note, is the back foot allowed to slide forwards? I think it is, but not come off the floor.. as both feet have to be in contact with the floor during the serve)
Thanks
