Hi Alois

I have impoevd my Backspin serve , thanks to you..but now i have a new problem.

Another opponent is very strong on backhand and my backhand is not..now. as a result of which he returns all my serves on my backhand and then I return back, by reflex to his backhand and he just then smashes it.

What should i do?

Hi Rakeshs,

Start to vary the positioning, speed and spin of your serve so that he can't control where he is returning the ball so easily.  Even serving a few long fast serves to the forehand may work.

Then work unmaking a forehand on the next ball.  If you can change the pattern of the rally the game can change quickly.
