What if my Opponent's Ball is already out, then I Accidentally hit it with my Racket then Goes back to my Opponent's table? Who's Point?

Hi Jeffrey,

As soon as the ball passes over the table it is out.  So it would be your point.  The first mistake always counts so the first mistake in this case is that the ball went out of the court.
