Hi Ismail,

The most important thing is to recognise when the ball is long enough for you to attack and then to make a topspin attack at each opportunity.

Topspin is such an important stroke to be able to master and implement in matches.  Work hard on these strokes in particular.

Forehand Topspin Against Block

Backhand Topspin Against Block

Forehand Topspin Off Backspin

Backhand Topspin Off Backspin

Also which serve should I use. 

Should it bounce on the table twice or only once.

It is good to develop your short serve as you progress.
