There have been some discussions about which player shall or can serve at the beginning of each game in a doubles match.
Some TTD members have incorrectly interpreted the laws of TT (since it wasn't 100% clear in the English) to say the serve order is fixed so that whoever served first in game 1 must serve in game 3 and 5 if it goes that far.
FINALLY, ITTF has written the Laws of TT to very clearly show that when one doubles team is to serve for that game, (whether it is game 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) that team gets to choose which one will serve first.
With the way the Laws of TT are now written, there is zero doubt.
