Hi Mark,
We say it is best to stop the problem by keeping the ball lower and deeper. Then you won't need to worry about this. However if you do put the ball up higher, try to move back away from the table to give yourself more time to see the ball. Then you can use the pace of the ball to Backhand Block the ball back or if you get further back you can attempt the Lob

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.
