Forest Gump :)

it can happen that someone playing in the higher teams of our club requests playing on a specific table for the simple reason that he will play a match later the weekend on that same table

I know table tennis is a whole lot more frustrating than playing guitar hahahaha. You cannot really lose playing guitar.

Shot selection on serve receive

You need to take into consideration the time for development and promotion this imposes on the player. He or his management might simply not want it.
