Hi Christian,

Firstly don't wory too much.  Table Tennis is a sport where you quickly lose your touch but it is not forgotten.  Within a few days of playing regularly again yor brain will start to remember how to do the strokes.

Serving especially requires a very fine skill so give yourself time to adjust and you will soon be serving like before if not better.

Building Block 5: Develop Game Skills with Match Drills

The fifth building block of table tennis is using match drills to simulate real-game situations. Match drills start with a serve and return, creating a practice environment that closely mirrors actual gameplay.

Within these drills, you can focus on specific skills, such as executing topspin against backspin. Incorporating match drills into your training helps you transition your practice into competitive play, building confidence and readiness for real matches.

To develop this building block the following video on match drill routines will be extremely helpful.
