It spins when you roll your racket while hitting the ball... In coaching terms, instead of "rolling your racket" you "stroke" or move your racket from point A to B to C. Example: Top spin; point A would be your back swing and usually below the path of the oncoming ball.......point B would be your contact point of the ball.......point C would be stroking forward in an upward direction, thereby imparting top spin on the ball. There is more information on the issue of spin and the material on the face of the paddle at the linked question.

There are two main forces acting on the racket from the tennis ball. The first is the force that the tennis ball exerts due to its velocity. The second is the reaction force resulting from the force that the racket exerts on the ball.

The forces are:

  • Gravity: This pulls the ball downwards and towards the ground.
  • Wind: This affects how much it moves side to side while still in the air.

There are probably many more but these are all I could think of.

Why does the tennis ball bounce best on a tennis racquet?

A tennis ball, when impacted, dissipates about 45% of the energy applied to it. This means that it only absorbs and returns 55% of that energy. That is why in the test standard for tennis balls, dropping it from 100 inches, it only rebounds 53 to 58 inches. It is returning that much energy. The strings of the racket, however, return 90% of the energy they are impacted with. So, when the tennis ball hits the strings and they stretch (absorb the energy), they will return 90% of that force in the return of the ball. When a ball hits strings with a higher tension, the force is exerted on the ball, instead of the strings, and the energy return is closer to the 55% range.
