similar, but not the same, no.

for example, when serving in Table Tennis, the ball must hit YOUR side of the table, bounce over the net and then hit your opponents side. in regular tennis, it just needs to hit your opponent's side.

the rules that are the same include:

the ball must not bounce more than once on your side of the net, or you lose that point

you may not hit the ball more than once when it is on you side of the net (meaning, if you hit it into the air straight up, you may not then hit it again to try to get it over the net)

serving is done behind the back line, and must be done from one quadrant of the court (or table) and needs to bounce on the quadrant kitty-corner from the serving quadrant.

Is table tennis the same as ping pong?

One of the original names for table tennis was ping pong. Ping Pong was then registered as a trademark by the sports company John Jaques & Son in England. Parker Brothers in the USA also bought the rights from Jaques to use the name ping pong in the USA only. So the name of the game was changed to table tennis. The official name today is table tennis. Ping Pong is still a trademark and is a brand of equipment in the USA which is used to play the sport of table tennis.
