Would you say "I am so excited I have just won a table tennis game or a table tennis match?"

I'd say table tennis game if I'm playing for fun. You can say ping-pong too instead of table tennis.

According to the official rules posted on the USATT website, a game and a match are defined as follows:

A Game:
A game shall be won by the player or pair first scoring 11 points unless both players or pairs score 10 points, when the game shall be won by the first player or pair subsequently gaining a lead of 2 points.

A Match:
A match shall consist of the best of any odd number of games.

...so which is it? Did you win a game or a match? Smile [:)]
