Hi Nabha,

It is difficult to topspin short serves. It is probably better to push these back shot of flick them. Take a look at our lessons on the Backhand Push and the Forehand Flick.

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.
