Coach,

when I am challenging with my uncle, my uncle said that when I serve its on the left side, when I get 1 point, its on the right side. Is this true?

No Chee, in singles you can serve from anywhere to anywhere as long as you are behind the end of the table. The middle line is only from doubles.

Doubles Serving Rules

In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
