I need some tips for Wii Sports, specifically Wii Tennis...?

I recently achieved pro status on Wii sports, tennis. However, playing some of the pros with ratings 1400 and above, I notice they put spin on the ball. Now, I know playing Wii bowling (also a pro) you can put curve on the ball by twisting the Wii remote on delivery.

I tried to apply the same theory, but nothing came of it. Though I can win my games without the spin I thought it might be useful in multiplayer games (particularly against the kids!)

I also have a problem with Aces. I can return them fine, but serving one is a real challenge. I think I get only 2 or three over the course of a best of 3 match.

Any help or advice would be appreciated, I'm falling in love with this game all over again after 12 months of Wii-ing and moving on to other games.
 
Topspin: Roll your wrist forward so that the Wii Remote buttons face down as you connect with the tennis ball. This shot is tough to return.

Backspin: Roll your wrist back so that the buttons face up.

The key is to think *table* tennis motions rather than traditional tennis. As mentioned in earlier answers, it's all in the wrist, not the arms. It'll take a while to get the hang of it, but when you do, it really deepens the mechanics of the game and you'll wonder why you ever played it without these techniques.

As for the aces, it's really just a matter of timing. Hit the ball when it reaches it's highest point and it should work. It'll come with practise and after a while you'll be serving like that all the time.

As for bowling, I'm no expert, but again the curve is all in the wrist. Twist your wrist as you follow through. If you're right handed, twisting your wrist to the left will cause it to arc to the left. If you twist your wrist to the right, away from your body, it will curve to the right.
 
The trick is when you serve, you must make a smash using your wrist (not your arms) its just like knocking a door but only stronger.

I reached up to 2000 points and there's no more opponents left to battle with.
 
When serving, hit the ball extra hard and it will send a speed ball (which they NEVER hit). Its easier (when about to serve) if you lift up your bat slowly then hit down hard.
