hi Alois,

if my serve after landing on my opponents court moves away from him sideways,is it wrong? I mean if it passes any of the borders at the side of the table without passing the end border where my opponent is standing?plz inform me.

Hi Farhan,

You are allowed to serve the ball so that after bouncing it moves off the side of the table.

The only time this is not permitted is in Wheelchair Table Tennis.
