Rules
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.
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.

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.
