How to play a fast topspin against chop?

Hi Aditya,
The most important thing is to maintain the stroke technique you are making with the topspin at the moment and then think about speeding up the stroke from start to finish point.
Then you can also add some twisting with your waist to increase the speed of the shot.
There is a lesson on the Advanced Forehand topspin coming out int he next day or so. Watch out for it in the Strokes & Technique section of the site.
