Hi,

how to do you tell if a lob is near the net such that I can do a drop shot? Thanks!

Hi Hao,

You need to watch the ball.  The more you do the quicker you will be able to judge if the ball is coming closer to the net or not.  Eventually, as soon as your opponent hits the ball you will get a feel for how long it is going to be.

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.
