Hi there coach, I just wanted to ask if there is any way how I can practice my third ball attack without having a partner? thanks

Hi Wayne,

This is really difficult.  You really need a training partner to do this effectively because you need to feel the effect of your serve coming back as well.  Your serve will effect the bounce of the return slightly each time.

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.
