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.
