Hi Praveen,

You can make another topspin off the chop.  You will need to lift the chop with a more vertical stroke on the forehand topspin.  The chop could have quite a lot of backspin on it so that is why you will need to have a vertical stroke to lift it over the net.

It is best not to try to smash this ball as the backspin will drag it into the net.

Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Loop Off Backspin

Use more vertical stroke and get a bit of speed through the stroke with your bat moving up fast.  You need to make sure you are getting that brushing action though.
