Dear coach

Is any medium-long serving can be forhand-topspinned?

Hi Nabil,

If the ball only bounces once on the table then it is definitely possible.  If the ball is going to only bounce once but it is a bit higher then you will be able to come over the ball and topspin it.  You will need a faster swing of your racket to get the grip to lift the ball over the net.

It is possible.
