You are the winner of that point. If you hit the ball over to your opponent's side, but the ball bounces back over to your side for some reason, you are the winner of that point.

Normally, you are not allowed to reach over the net, but under these circumstances, you can reach over the net to hit the ball.

Can a tennis player cross over to the opponent's side?

"A player may break the plane of the net on a follow through from a shot as long as the ball was on that player's side of the court when the ball was struck. (The player can only reach over to play a ball in the situation stated in the paragraph below). The player in either situation may not touch the net, or the opponent's court with anything he wears or carries or with any part of the body. If the spin or wind brings the ball back over the net to the side of the player(s) who hit the shot, the opponent(s) may then reach over the net and play the ball. They may not touch the net or the opponent's court. This is the only situation when a player may reach over the net to play a ball. If the opponent does not play the ball and it bounces on the side of the player who hit the spin shot, that player who hit that shot wins the point." According to the rules, it is perfectly fine for the follow through on a swing of the racquet to cross the net as long as contact with the ball was on the player's side and not on the opponent's side, and contact was not made with the net by the striking player or their racquet. However, one cannot reach across the net to strike a ball that is on the opponent's side of the net except under on circumstance: If the ball originally bounced on the player's side of the net but due to back spin the ball wound up crossing back over the net, it is acceptable to then reach over the net and strike the ball prior to its hitting the ground as long as contact is not made with the net by the striking player's racquet or body.

In ping pong if the ball hits your paddle when it's out is it the other person's point?

It depends.The crucial test for whether a player wins a point after volleying the ball is ... was the ball moving towards, or away from, the playing surface?Let me explain with a question and answer ...If I hit a ball to my opponent, and it doesn't hit their half of the playing surface (table) because it's a bad shot ... but they hit the ball anyway, who gets the point?Well, it depends ...If your opponent hits/volleys the ball whilst it's still travelling over the playing surface, you win the point.But if it's already passed over the playing surface and it's obviously not going hit the table, your opponent wins the point.In other words, if there's a chance that the ball might hit the table because it's still travelling towards it, your opponent would lose the point if he prevented it from doing so by hitting/volleying it ...But ...If the ball has already passed over the table and/or is travelling away from the table, your opponent wins the point whether he hits/volleys it or not.
