Hi Siddharth,

Try to practice your forehand topspin in training.  Then when you get an opportunity in training games start to use it.

Eventually when you play really matches you will also start to use the stroke.  It is just a matter of gaining confidence in the stroke and you will start to find a use for it in a game situation.

So keep the ball short on your serve and try and catch them unprepared. Watch the video to find out more great tactics to use against a defensive chopper.
