Rules
While playing a match do we have to hit the ball where the other person is standing or can we hit it anywhere on the table.
Thanks
Hi Armaan,
In singles you can hit it anywhere on the table.
In doubles, the serve has to go diagonally from right bow to right box but after that you can hit anywhere on the table.
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.
