Hi Alois
How can liu shiwen control the huge amount of topspin by the slow spinny forehand loop by ai fukuhara and hit the ball so flat that it is like a smash?

Hi Yap,
She is very fast and can cope with the speed and spin from Ai. It looks like she is smashing but she is putting a lot of topspin on the ball which helps it to come down quickly.

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.
