We have labelled the right (R) side of the table for everyones benefit.
The direction of the ball should be from the right side of the server going
to the right side of the receiver.
If the ball landed on the center line, it is considered a good ball. If the ball
landed on the left side of the receiver, it is considered as a fault.

Here, you will see players A and C on one side of the court, and players
B and D on the other side.
Let us assume that team AC won the draw for the service. This means
that A will serve first. Player A must serve diagonally to player B.
Player A will still serve twice, unless the service or rally is a let.
The next server will be the player who received the ball from the
previous server, in this case, player B.

Note: after player As 2 scored services, player A will move to the left
side of the table, and player C will transfer to the right side of the table.
After they exchange position, player B may start serving the ball. Which
brings us now to the receiving order. After Bs service, they too, will
exchange position.
This time, we shall apply the change court change receiver rule.
Player B will now serve first for the second set and the receiver will be player
A. So the pattern now is B-A, A-D, D-C, C-B. I hope you got that.
