In a FAST4 tie-break the player/team who first wins five (5) points shall win the set, with a deciding point at 4-4. The player whose turn it is to serve at the commencement of the tie-break (Player A) will serve two (2) points starting on the right half of the court. The opposing player (Player B) will then serve two (2) points starting on the right half of the court. Player A (or the partner, Player C, in doubles) will then serve two (2) points. Player B (or the partner, Player D, in doubles) will then serve the following two (2) points. If the score reaches 4-4, Player B (or Player D in doubles) will serve the final point of the tie-break with the receiver(s) choosing whether to receive the serve from the right half or the left half of the court. Players/Teams will only change ends after the first four (4) points have been played. THE LET DURING A SERVICE FAST4 is played with the "no let rule". In doubles, if a serve touches the net, strap or band and lands (bounces) within the correct service box, either player on the receiving team can return the ball. 27
