Hi, Alois

As in tennis, if you make a fault in your serve, it's counted as half a point or directly as an entire point?

I'm so confused....

Thanks

Hi Arturo,

In Table Tennis if you serve a fault you lose the point straight away.  You don't get two chances.

Sorry for asking too much :), but I read that if when you serve, and the ball hits your side and then your opponent's side it cannot go towards the right or the left (I don't know if I explained it well). I hope u undestood.

Hi Arturo,

The ball is allowed to go anywhere on the other side of the table when you serve in singles.

Hi, Alois

I know it, but I read a little bit of the handbook an it said:

IT'S A LET IF

2.09.01.05.03 in singles leaves the receiver’s court after touching it by either of its sidelines. 

what does it mean?

Thanks
