Hi alois and jeff....there's a friend of mine who does the fast sidespin topspin serve on my backhand side..ive tried both attacking and defending it but its not working...i have a long pimpled rubber and a mark v....should i try making room and chopping it with long pips or attack with backhand topspin with mark v? if both are possible then what is more advantageous and effective?

Hi Shubham,

Both are possible and both can be effective against different players.  The long pimple return is easier for you to execute so start with that.
