Rules of serving in singles

Archel Taneka Sutanto Asked 12 years ago

Hi Alois and Jeff,

What are the rules of serving in singles? Because yesterday I played with my friends and they said that I must serve diagonally, I thought that the serve could be placed anywhere I want to. It was really confuse me.

Thanks a lot!
Regards, Archel

Hi Archel,

You definitely can serve anywhere on the table in singles.  The diagonal serve is only in doubles.
