Hi Utkarsh,

Firstly it is about understanding the spin that is on the ball and how to deal with it.

The best thing is to use your racket like a rudder to steer the ball back.

We have a section on the website devoted to this topic. You will find a lot of information in our Receiving Secrets lessons about how to recognise spin as well as how to return it effectively.

Fake Movements

After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
