hi

I notice ma long and xu xin playing in the middle of the set, they just change courts. All I thought is that you can only change court after the setpoint. Is it Ok? How many times can you do it in a game?

Thank you,

Judah

Hi Judah,

In the deciding set so if it a best of 7 set match then in the 7th set the players change ends when the first player reaches 5 points.  This is to make sure that if there is an advantage at one end that both players have the same opportunity.

Doubles Serving Rules

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.
