Hi Girish,

I think one of the best things for getting faster is to improve your leg strength.  You can do this with weight training.  It is best to go to a gym an get some proper advice with this.  They will be able to watch you and tailor something specifically for you.

The other thing that will help is to do a lot of footwork drills as part of your training.  If you look at the Free Downloads section of the site you will find the Training Drills download that will help you to choose some drills.

By throwing in some long returns you will keep your opponent off balance so when you do return the ball short they can't just be standing there waiting for it. But your long serve needs to be effective so they can't attack it too strongly. Watch this master class to find out all the important information about returning long.
