Whose point is it?
Rules
Raresh Paunescu Asked 11 years ago
Hello Alois,
i was playing with a friend and i served very short with a lot of backspin and the ball bounced once on my side , then once on his side and then it came back to me. My friend says it was his point. Was it my point or his?

Hi Raresh,
It was your point. It is his responsibility to hit the ball before it comes back onto your side or it is your point.

Please clear this:
If player A serves with great backspin, the ball falls on the side of player A, then falls on the side of player B and then comes back and is above the side of player A, and player B hits the ball when it is above the side of player A, and then player A is unable to return he ball, who wins the point?

its player B's point.
