How do we return a sidespin serve which bounces on the end of the left side of the table and comes to my backhand?
I am a right hand player and is not so good with backhand serves.

Hi,
You can use a backhand topspin for these serves. You can wait till the ball comes off the end of the table and then make a Backhand Topspin Off Backspin stroke.
