Rules
What will happen if the ball pitches back on the server's side while serving? This mostly happens in a backspin serve.Who's point is it, the person who served or the person who received?
Hi Sohan,
That is the servers point. The receiver must touch the ball before it goes back for the rally to continue.
In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
