Hi Anunay,

The first thing when trying to get a good short serve is to generate spin.  This will mean that you may not be able to get it short initially.  Don't worry about this.

As you get the feel of the spin you can start to focus on getting a finer contact on the ball.  This will get the ball shorter.  It takes a long time to get the feel for it.

Take a look through our section on Serving and Receiving where you will find a lot of information about improving your serves.
