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.
