Hi Dhruv,

Thanks for the compliment.

In a match you need to work on making sure you are still playing your strokes correctly.  You also need to focus on playing well rather than too much on the result.  Worrying about the result will mean that you will tighten up.  Once you tighten up it is difficult to play your strokes properly.

Wall practice is good when you are starting to learn your hitting and strokes.  Playing against a partner is more effective later.

To learn the serves get a copy of the Serving Secrets Revealed DVD.  This will show you in great detail how to do these two serves as well as many others.
