Hi I want to ask how to return topspin serves more effectively because the only way i know and use is just blocking.The problem is that with this serves my opponents easily take the opportunity to attack.

Hi Alexander,

A more effective way is to use the Forehand Flick.  This will get the ball travelling faster as is a more attacking stroke that you will be able to cut down your opponents time.

Basically it is a short forehand stroke.  Give it a try and see how it works.

Watching the ball is important to tell its direction  If the ball is wide and long you should try to attack it with a topspin.
