Hi Kartikey,

It is difficult to loop a ball that is only going to bounce once.  I would recommend that you flick or push that ball.

If you mean that the ball is only bouncing once on the table but it is in front of you, then you need to stay really low with your legs and move forward into the ball.  Then you need to use a lot of topspin to lift it up over the table and net.  Slow the stroke down to get the ball to lift easier.
