Hi Julio,
This is something that will improve with time. You need to be able to play against as many different types of servers as possible.
You need to understand the basics of spin first. This is something that we have gone into a lot of detail with on our Receiving Secrets Revealed DVD.

Judging the Length of a Serve
A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.
