Hi Jaiden,

The major skills are in the strokes.  IT is important to get them correct, starting with the basic strokes you will find in our Bronze level lessons.

Try to go through these strokes and develop them. It is important to not only learn them but to perfect them so that they come naturally during a match.

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.
