Can you serve long in doubles?(I see a lot doubles matches and they serve short every time)

Hi Chris,

You are allowed to serve long but it is not advisable.  The opponent only has half the table to cover so it will be easy to attack if you serve long.

That is why they serve short most of the time.

Shibaji Datta is a hot favourite in this match up against the unusual style of Brian Berry who loves to mix the game up with some great defensive play and some whippy forehand attacks.
