Untouched Ball

Hi my name is Jorge. I was playing Table Tennis with my friend and he hit the ball to my side of the table, i returned it to him with backspin. When the ball hit his side of the table, the ball bounced back to my side without my friend hitting the ball with his paddle. I could not reach the ball after that. Who gets the point?

The good news is that you win the point Jorge. Your opponent must hit the ball otherwise you win the point. What happened in your match? Did you play the point again or did one of you claim the point?

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
