Hi Dawood,

If the ball is close to the net try to make a Forehand Push or Backhand Push stroke.

Then it is a matter of getting the basics of reading spin correct.  Use the angle of your bat to return the ball.  If you need more information on the basics of returning spin take a look through the content we have on our Receiving Secrets course.
