How to return a topspin sidespin tomahawk serve effectively?

Hi Haseeb,

The best thing is to flick or topspin it back depending on the length of the serve.

The difficult part can be allowing for the sidespin.  If you are both right handed then often using the backhand is easier because you have the natural angle of the racket to counter the sidespin on the ball.
