Many times it happens that when i hit topspin it goes wrong. i think my perfection is not there but i hit well at practise but not in a match.

Hi Tatsat,
That is OK. You are on the right track. Sometimes it just takes longer to be able to implement things in a match because you may be a little tighter or stressed.
Keep practicing it during training and trying to do it in matches and soon it will start to work for you.
The fact that you can do it in training means that your technique is good. Just try to do the same technique in the match.
