Actually I can't understand how to return fast and long serves. My opponent takes advantage of this. Please do something about it.

Hi Shivam,

You need to work on topspinning that long serve.  Watch the ball carefully and then execute a topspin stroke.  If you can make a topspin it will make ti more difficult for your opponent to take advantage of the next ball.
