Hi Praveen,
You can make another topspin off the chop. You will need to lift the chop with a more vertical stroke on the forehand topspin. The chop could have quite a lot of backspin on it so that is why you will need to have a vertical stroke to lift it over the net.
It is best not to try to smash this ball as the backspin will drag it into the net.
Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Loop Off Backspin.

Forehand Flick
When your opponent plays a short ball to your forehand, you can play an attacking stroke by using the flick. This stroke is also known as the flip.
