Hi Harikrishnan,
When you are learning a stroke, I would not concentrate at all on my free arm. You are much better off focusing on the start and finish position of your playing arm. You can only think of a few things at once and the start and finish position are key.
Your free arm will naturally find a good place. I think that if you focus on the position of your free arm it will take your mind off the elements you should be concentrating on.

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.
