Hi Konstantin,
Take a look at the free lesson we have on this in our Strokes & Techniques section. Take a look at the lesson on the Backhand Sidespin Flick.

Judging the Length of a Serve
A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.

I will have a tournament on Monday. Do you have any advice for me? (Maybe my question is stupid
)
Hi Konstantin,
I think one of the most important things with a tournament is to just do the things that you do normally. Often players try to do something special and get themselves into trouble.
