Hi Nishanth,

The advantage of being tall is having a better reach.  But it is harder to get the ball from your middle.  For short players the problem is the reach for the wider balls.  The advantage is it is easier to move because you are a little more compact.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
