ITF may not let8217; it be

US Open champion Pat Rafter and others have raised the possibility of boycotting the Australian Open if the no-let rule is in place.

8220;You could have a Grand Slam final decided by a serve that catches the tape and takes a really weird bounce which gives the returner no chance of getting to the ball,8221; Rafter said. Designed to speed play, the rule would mean no replay of serves which catch the tape before going over.

8220;The players will be informed directly of the proposal at a players8217; meeting during Wimbledon,8221; itf spokesman Alun James said today.
