Hi,
When I play topspin, racket swings but does not touch the ball.This happens many times. I don't know what causes this and how can prevent it. Please help.
Thanks.

Hi Kaustubh,
Firstly think about watching the ball all the way.
Then think about making your stroke a little less vertical and more forward moving so that you are hitting into the ball. This way the ball and the bat are travelling along the same path for a longer time and more likely to connect.

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.
