Hi Saiful,
Receiving serves takes a while because they have so many options.
However, try to keep the task simple. If they serve long think about making a topspin stroke with either your forehand or backhand.
There are plenty of ideas in our Serving and Receiving section of the site. Take a look through and see what you can improve.
