Where both players owe points, the player owing the higher
number of points commences play at the difference between the
two handicaps, the opponent commencing play at love.
A player is said to receive a hand when notwithstanding that
he shall have, as hand-in, served himself out or failed to return
the ball correctly, he shall continue to serve, commencing from the
alternate court until he shall again fail to return the ball correctly
or serve himself out. A player playing another who owes a hand
shall take the handicap by himself receiving a hand. A player
who receives on handicap one or more additional hands, and who
is hand-in at the commencement of a game, shall not avail himself
of his handicap until he shall have once been hand-out. Where
both players owe hands, or where both players receive hands, the
difference in handicap shall be played.
