[GentleBoy]

Are the following correct use of "end up doing something" ?

I am not saying anything because I don't want to end up fighting with you unnecessarily.

Don't leave anything for tomorrow. Do it today. Otherwise you will end up having a lot of work.

If I didn't finish that yesterday I would end up having a lot of things which I couldn't have handled at all.

You need to drive the ball lightly when the speed is high. Otherwise you will end up putting it out of the table.

Your uses of "end up..." are all correct.

I have some problems with sentences 3 and 4. Number 3 seems illogical. You either did or didn't finish that yesterday. It is hard to make that a conditional with "didn't". I would use "If I hadn't finished that yesterday, I would have ended up with a lot of things I couldn't handle."
Number 4 sounds like table tennis (ping pong). I am not familiar with the jargon of this sport, but it seems to me that "out of the table" is incorrect.

As with tennis, if you hit a ball too hard in table tennis you will "hit it long" or "hit it out".

I get your point, but "hit it out of the court" seems more reasonable to me than "hit it out of the table". But, as I said, I am not that familiar with the jargon.

I knew that. You brought up tennis.
