The correct answer is:
Alexa’s opponent was right, and the serve is a let.
From ITF Rule 22:
According to Rule 22, a serve is a let if “after touching the net…[the ball] touches the receiver or the receiver’s partner...before hitting the ground.” Even though a ball touching a player is usually grounds for that player losing the point, in the case of a serve touching the net and then a player, the serve is a let.

I LOVE my new Doubletake backpack! The colors are cute and the shape is so much more appealing than the other bags I see prople bringing to my weekly pickleball clinic. I love the pockets, especially the soft lined ones designed for phones and sunglasses. Also the interior clip to attach my keys is so smart. Highly recommend this product!
This bag is so well made, great quality of fabric and construction. Plenty of pockets inside, including a soft lined pocket for your sunglasses. I bought it because of the backpack straps, but love this back overall!
