Hi Oswald,
The main thing is to utilise the speed on the ball and not try to do too much. You can almost block the ball back and just add as much speed yourself as time allows.
Think more about the placement of the return.
To help you to have a bit more time make sure you are watching the ball closely as soon as the server has it in their hand. Then track the ball all the way to your side of the table.
