Rules
Hi sir,
I've heard that it is illegal for the server to take position across the table line, while serving. I mean the server not staying behind the table; however, I can see in a match of yours, in which the opponent (Di Napoli) taking position beyond the table line while he serves the ball.
Is it a legal serve as far as he contacts the ball from behind the table?
I've added the link for reference, and hope I'm able to make it clear to you. Sorry if I'm not using the appropriate term.

Hi John,
It is OK for the body to be past the line as long as the ball is behind.
Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
