I lost in the match i was previously talking about. but i saw the Senior's match. They were playing really fast. Even i couldn't see the ball. How do they do it, sir?

Hi Earl,

This comes with lots of training.  After a while you will get used to that pace too but first there needs to be a lot of balls hit by you.  The speed will increase naturally as you get better.  This may take a couple of years of training.

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.
