Hi eslam,

We find this to be the most difficult part of the game for some players.

We have answers to this as part of our popular section on Serving and Receiving.  In there you will find all the information you could possibly need about returning all of those serves.  The first thing is to understand the principles of receiving.  Then you can apply them to all types of serves.

Especially take a look at Introduction to Receiving.

Judging the Length of a Serve

A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.
