Is winning 11-0 legal in table tennis?

A player asked, when I am winning 10-0, should I give a point to the opponent? And do pro players do the same?

And I answered, yes, its called a Mercy point. Read more at PingSunday.com.

Some players like Mercy point

Winning someone 11-0 good or bad for your feelings? Maybe, its good for you. But think for your opponent.

But some players hate Mercy point

Nothing bad losing 0-11, Mercy points are bad.

If I lose 11-0, people have the right to laugh. I’d rather not have the Mercy point.

I think you show more respect to your opponent.

I feel like the opposite for Mercy points.

Here is the final of the Youth Olympics Games 2018. Wang Chuqin has given the “mercy point” to Harimoto Tomokazu. As losing a game 0-11 is bad in Asian culture, especially at the professional level.

Wang Chuqin was simply Unstoppable at the Youth Olympics Final yesterday, taking a 10-0 lead in the 3rd game before giving a Mercy point to Tomokazu Harimoto ! Harimoto Tomokazu also did a very nice action. They returned the Mercy to Wang Chuqin. This is the Fairplay action of both players. And you notice Harimato did not like to be shown Mercy and simply gave away the next point.
