Double bounce on racket

Rules

When I receive a backspin serve at an awkward angle, the ball sometimes bounces twice on my racket. It's an extremely rare occurence but it does happen. Would this be considered a foul?

Hi Jack,

This is a good shot.  You are now allowed to hit the ball twice as long as it is not intentional.

Doubles Serving Rules

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.
