Hi Jeremy,
I think the best way is to make a topspin. You need to allow for the sidespin but it also will feel like there is some backspin on the ball.
Make sure you move back after serving to give yourself some space and time to make the topspin.

Thank you for the advice. However most of the best players in my country do a backhand block to return a spinny backhand flick. Can you help me in how to return a backhand flick with a backhand block. Thanks

If the ball has topspin and sidespin then you can block it. You just need to allow for the sidespin by adjusting the angle of the bat. It will feel like it hasn’t got as much topspin because of the sidespin.
Thanks for the advice. I would like to know if I can do a fast backhand against a spinny backhand flick.Thanks for replying me

You can do that if you use good topspin technique and have good position.
