Hi Bhushan,

If you get a low topspin serve the best stroke to use is the Forehand Flick or the Backhand Flick.  This will counteract the topspin on the ball.  Take a look at the lessons and see if this helps.

I normally use a lot of backspin if I can use my backhand. Aggressive players like topspin and not so experienced aggressive players are prone to hitting the net if your backspin is strong enough. If I can use my forehand, I either put side-spin or some more top-spin but mostly side-spin.
