Hello.
What if i serve and the ball hit the side of the table?
Do i repeat the service or is a point for the other guy?

Hi Aris,
If the ball hits the other side of the table after bouncing on your side it almost certainly will be your point as it has probably hit the top even if it is on the edge. As long as it hits somewhere on the top of the table it is considered to be in.

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.
