Hi Abbas,
The key is watching the ball well. If you watch the ball from the time it is in his hand all the way through it will give yourself a better chance of reacting to the fast serves.

Judging the Length of a Serve
A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.

You can wait a bit further from the table,as the forward movement is easier than the backward movement and you also have more time to react
