Hi Dody,
This is similar to dealing with it off the serve. You need to just use the angle of your racket to steer the ball back. So adjust your stroke depending on the type of sidespin on the ball. If the spin is going to take the ball to you left, then angle you brat to the right and vice versa.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.

You will still need to adjust your angle slightly for the sidespin.
