Could you please clarify if it is the only touch/hit contact that raquet has with the ball during the serve or the ball can roll over the surface?

Hi Oleksandr,

You have to hit the ball with your bat.  If it accidentally hits the surface twice then that is alright but you aren't allowed to deliberately roll the ball on the surface of the bat.
