Hi Mazen,
You could firstly take a look at your stance. See if you a\have one foot in front of the other. If you are right handed, you might have your right foot forward. Let me know if this is the case.
In matches and in training, put more focus on the forehand and try to make as many forehands as you can. Just by putting focus on it you will find a difference in the way your body approaches the ball.
As a final point, but probably where you should start is to make sure your technique is correct.

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.
