Hi Mazen,

You could firstly take a look at your stance.  See if you a\have one foot in front of the other.  If you are right handed, you might have your right foot forward.  Let me know if this is the case.

In matches and in training, put more focus on the forehand and try to make as many forehands as you can.  Just by putting focus on it you will find a difference in the way your body approaches the ball.

As a final point, but probably where you should start is to make sure your technique is correct.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
