Hi Siddhartha,
The change in your racket angle will depend on where the ball is going when you hit it. If the ball is going into the net then you will need to open your angle more or if it is going out then close your angle.
I find that Backhand topspins often have more spin than forehands so players find it harder to deal with.

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.
