Hi Kenji,

It sounds like there may be some variations of the spin on the sidespin serves the you are getting.

If the serve is long then the topspin is the best option to return. If you brush the ball fast you will counteract the spin that is on the ball whether it has sidespin with topspin or sidespin with backspin.

Take a look at this tutorial on Returning a Long Sidespin Serve which I think will also help.

Fake Movements

After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
