Receiving position

Strokes

Clement Clement Asked 6 years ago

Why does players tend to bend down so much when their opponent is serving?

Is it to examine the serve and the type of spin?

Alois Rosario Answered 6 years ago

Hi Clement,

It is more to do why being able to move quickly when their opponent serves and also to be able to generate power on their return if the serve comes long.

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.
