Thanks
Hi Andreas,
He is putting a lot of topspin on the serve. This is like the punch serve where he is coming over the top of the ball on contact to get the topspin. He has good deception with it because straight after he contacts the ball he turns his racket like he has done a backspin serve.
If we get a chance we will try to do a video about this serve.
Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.

because the ball is travelling fast by making room can i hit a topspin stroke
Yes Siddhartha,
You certainly can hit a topspin stroke against this type of serve. As long as you counter the topspin he is putting on the serve, that would be a very effective return.
