Hi Edvin,

Using variation is a key to good serving.

Any serve, no matter how good is only effective till your opponent gets used to it and adjusts their return.

Use a few different serves and also use a variety of spins on the serves and you will have a good range to work with.

Sir which serve makes the opponent to hit the ball higher and helps us to attack more easily

It is about variation.  If you save a topspin serve the ball will tend to go higher if your opponent doesn't read the spin on the serve.
