Hi Siddharth,

If the ball is going into the net all the time try to tilt your bat back more.  This will counteract the backspin that is on the ball.

If you can get a monthly membership to the Premium membership and watch the Receiving Secrets course.  This will really help you by showing you the principles of receiving spin serves.
