Hi Bahtiar,
Work on your forehand topspin in particular. You need to work on it against a block stroke as well as against the backspin ball.
Don't neglect your backhand though. Make sure you are working on that side as well. It is difficult to dominate the game now with only one side.

You also need very good footwork. Building good footwork is extremely difficult and takes a lot of time. You also need to anticipate the ball early and it comes after a lot of experience.
