Because when you serve badly in tennis you net the ball

Hit rather than clear the net
Think tennis serve

Thank you. I still don't understand why "heat" is "accommodate", but it fits otherwise. Thanks

[scorpiojo]

Are told as in "heat her"?

[Marijn]

Thank you very much for your help. It's the part where "heat" = "accommodate", that I don't understand. But I have written it in anyway.

Thanks again all.
