Hi,
This is an awkward angle for the right hander to receive the left hander serve.
The main thing is to get a lot of experience in facing this serve. Try to get a few left handers to practice against. The more you face it the easier it will get.
Try to get close to the ball because it is curling away from you. I often think about getting my nose close to the ball.
