Hi Jim,

Try to watch the ball really carefully.  This will give you the most information that you can get.

Also watch the way that your opponent contacts the ball.

Work hard at your strokes and techniques and you will improve your ability.

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.
