In this video why did mizutani lose the 4th set last point in which mizutani was 9 and zhang jike was 10?

HI Saketh,

The incident happens at around 6:50.  The umpire has called a fault for something.  I would say it is because he has his body between the ball and the net during the serve.

Hitting the Ceiling

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.

also I think that he is hitting the ball a little bit beyond the line.

Do you mean end line or side line?
