Hi Saatvik,

Try to use some variations.  The 3 areas you can vary are the spin, the speed and the placement of the ball.  If you do these then your opponent will have a harder time to smash the ball.

Also think about keeping the topspin lower over the net.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
