How many points does a player need to win a set in table tennis?

In table tennis, a set is won by the first player to reach 11 points. A set must be won by at least a two-point margin. If the score reaches 10-10, the game continues until one player wins by two points.

Rules for winning a set in table tennis:

  • A point is scored when the ball hits the opponent's court and they fail to return it.
  • The serve alternates between players every two points.
  • Players must hit the ball over the net and onto the opponent's side of the table.
  • The ball must bounce once on each side of the table.
  • A player loses a point if they hit the ball into the net, out of bounds, or fail to return it.

Additional information:

  • A match is typically played to the best of three or five sets.
  • The first player to win two or three sets wins the match.
  • In international competitions, sets are played to 15 points instead of 11.
