Serve ball bouncing off net to the receiver's side but not in the required block

Rules

Aditya Sawant Asked 7 years ago

My question is while playing doubles, if, while serving, the ball hits the net and bounces on the opponent's side but in the same half as mine (from right quarter block of my side to left quarter block of the receiver's side), is it a let or does the opponent get the point?

Hi Aditya,

The opponent would get the point because you haven't completed a proper serve.

I hope this clears it up for you.

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.
