Hi Tarun,

It is best to push the ball if it is close to the net.  You need to move in close to the table and put your right foot under the table to get yourself close to the bounce of the ball.

This is an important ball in a match situation because you will find at the higher levels that most players will serve close to the net.

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.
