Hi Dola,
What problems are you having returning this serve? Are you having trouble reading the spin or is it just the speed of the ball which is the problem.
If the ball is coming long and fast, it's important to move quickly into a good position. Then you should be able to play a good topspin stroke which will vary depending on the spin that was on the serve.

my problem is that the serve is coming to my backhand which isn't very strong and the speed of the serve is a problem too

Hi Dola,
Try taking a little step away from the table before he serves. This will give you a bit more time especially on the backhand side to make a topspin. If you can get your body into position well then you will give yourself the best chance of making the return.

First my friend used to do He Zhi Wen serve.
A good thing to do is to step away from the table as the the ball drops,follow the bat and see if they are doing a fast swing.
When you contact the ball, make sure you close the angl of the bat. I usually chop the ball back but it took me weeks to chop it back sucessfully.
