Hi Mohamed,

It gives us a lot of pleasure to make the videos and be able to help players like you.

To get sidespin on the backhand, you need to hit the ball from outside the line of your body.  Then drop your wrist and hit around the side of the ball.

We do have a lesson on this on our Curve with Backhand for our Premium members as well.

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.
