Topspin against topspin when ball is low
Strokes
Dario Mirić Asked 10 years ago
How to play a backhand topspin against topspin when the ball is pretty low (lower then the ball level)? Should i have opened or closed of my bat? Should I have fast follow through and does my stroke need to be more vertical or horizontal?

Hi Dario,
You need to have a more vertical stroke if the ball is lower. You can brush the ball very fast to generate lots of topspin to get it up and down quickly.
Take a look at the lesson on the Backhand Topspin to Topspin.

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.
