How to return a top and sidespin shot effectively my opponent hit this kind of shot on my sidespin under spin serve and also tell me to avoid such shot or some kind of serve to avoid such hit?

Hi Haseeb,

You can block that ball back.  You need to allow for the sidespin by angling your racket to allow for the sidespin.

We do talk about it in this Ask the Coach Show #33.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
