Hi Soham,

The ball is only allowed to bounce once on your side before you hit it. This is even if the ball hits the net on the way through. It can be a difficult ball to get back.

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.

I m asking u that if i hit the ball during gameplay and lands on opponents side then on how many bounce can he hit the ball.

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago
He must hit it after one bounce.

Jeff Plumb from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago
So to summarise Soham, you cannot hit the ball without it bouncing and you can't hit it after it has bounced twice.

Hi Alois and Jeff

my Question is" last Saturday I play on the tournament and he was higher rated than me the match score 2-1 and the game point 10-8 , we have a good rally I was attacking him at least 4-5 rallies. The last rally I hit the ball very wide angle and hit the next table player. It's that consider my winning match ?? Thanks
