Hi Mahmoud,

The main thing to do here is to watch the ball very carefully. If you are watching the player they can deceive you with their movements but if you are tracking the ball then you will follow where the ball is going.

or you can follow the direction which the racket of your opponent is facing because you can make a shot go to his backhand when your racket is facing the forehand of your opponent
