| Umpire | The official who is in overall charge of a match. The umpire sits in a raised chair at one end of the net, calls the score after each point, and has final responsibility for all questions of judgment and fact. He or she may reverse the decision of a judge or linesman if it is clearly in error and may impose point penalties or even default a player for unsportsmanlike conduct. | | Underspin | See backspin. | | Unforced error | Loss of a point caused by a poorly hit shot that goes into the net or out of the court. Compare forced error. | | Up and back | A doubles formation in which one partner plays in the forecourt, the other in the backcourt. Compare tandem. |
