Hi Carlos,
Kreanga play a fast topspin stroke. Take a look at our lesson on the Backhand Topspin Against Block. Then to increase speed, you can start to get your bat to move through the stroke faster. Kreanga has an amazing ability to move his arm through really fast. That is how he generates so much speed and power.

Strawberry Flick
The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
