Hi Il,

The main principle is to adjust the angle of your racket slightly to allow for the sidespin.  The other important thing is to strike the ball quite firmly.  If you have a soft contact the sidespin will have more effect.

Also watch the flight of the ball carefully as it comes to you as the curve sometimes leads to a mis-hit.
