Who gets the point if the ball bounces off the wall untouched?

Who gets the point - me or opponent - if I smash the ball into their court, it hits the wall and bounces back to my side without them touching it? My understanding is the opponent has to make contact to get the point. But does a wall bounce change that rule? Looking for clarification on the wall bounce scoring.

As soon as the ball bounces back in your court untouched, the point is yours - even if it hit the opposing wall first. For your opponents to gain the point, they have to make contact with the ball in some way before it crosses back over to your side. No paddle contact = your point.
