Hi Christophe,

The easiest way is to play a push type stroke to get the ball back up and aver the net.  If you try to hit it flat you probably find that the ball goes into the net.  The fast serve will have topspin on it so that it comes off the anti spin with backspin and will go down or float.

Getting the angle right is the main thing to get the right amount on lift on the ball.  Try to get someone to serve the fast serve to you during practice and get the feel of the type of push stroke that you need to use to get the ball back effectively.
