if we make an opening top spin from our backhand and the opponent put return on our forehand at the same time then what will i do to reach my forehand side

Hi Prateek,

Try to work on your footwork.  After making the backhand topspin remain balanced so that you can move easily to the next ball.  Then use your sidestepping shuffle footwork to move to the next ball.

Take a look at our lesson on the Footwork Basics to help you some more.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
