2.What and how do i improve on my match tempermant ?
3.Backhand topspin is what confuses me and i didn't use it at the right time and and lose confidence in trying it.
Would love to hear from you .

Hi Ramesh,
Glad you are enjoying the site.
1. In general work towards making the attack as soon as you can. One simple rule is that if the ball is only going to bounce once on your side then you can attack it. Use a topspin stroke on the first attacking ball.
2. Take a look at our Sports Psychology section. Is there something in particular that you are finding you need help with?
3. The Backhand topspin can be simple if you make sure you are in position first and then execute the basics of the start and finish position. I find that it i more important to be in position for the backhand than the forehand so that you are behind the ball. Persevere with the stroke.
