When I watch Ma Lin do his serve I wonder what if he put so much spin the opponent can't even execute the ball.My question is who's point will it be?

Hi Joseph,

If he happened to put enough spin for it to come back onto his own side it would be his point.  However, it would be very difficult to do especially at his high level, his opponents would deal with it easily.

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.
