Ma lin serve, let or ok?

Rules

mat huang Asked 13 years ago

Hello alois,

Thanks for all the answers you gave me lately.

I want to know if you do a Ma Lin serve to your opponents side, without hitting the net and it comes back to your side hitting the net. Is that let or ok?

Thanks

Hi Matt,

That is perfectly legal and you would win the point if that happened. Once the ball has gone over the net and landed on your opponents side, the serve is considered good.
