Hi Frendy,

I think it is more important to watch the ball. Anticipation comes from learning cues from other players and patterns.

I don't really understand... Can you tell me for more detail and some example ? As when i watched some sport match just like table tennis and badminton, i always heard the commentator said "what a good anticipation he/she do" or anything said about the athlete anticipation and i don't know as what i see is the athlete just hit the ball but with not consistency or just make it in so i confused

in tennis table the ball comes very quickly and I think ( am I wrong ) it's important to react fast, I readed the article to hitt before the top of the ball, no more time to réact, a young player réact quickly than an old player no?

Hi Martinand,

A young player may be able to react faster but if the older player is watching the ball better and has better emotional control, they can be faster.
