Hi guys,
Can I put my right foot in front of my left when playing the long backhand push because I feel more comfortable.

Hi Nasko,
You can put your right foot forward a little. For a short push this is necessary. For the really long push you don't really need to move your foot in because the ball will come to you.
Just see if you are ready for the next ball when you do it. If you do get back to a ready position well enough then that is fine.

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.
