To anticipate

Anticipation is an ability to predict with very high probability what the opponent will play.

There are two distinct ways how good anticipation improves reactions and the whole game.

1. The player anticipates opponent’s shot/tactic and prepares the right response (or possible responses) in their mind a split second before opponent hits the ball. Thus when the opponent does play the shot the player reacts immediately.

2. The player anticipates opponent’s shot and moves before the opponent even plays the ball.

This is most common when the opponent is facing a relatively easy ball which they attempt to put away or when is hitting the smash. The player has to move before the contact because if they wait to see where the ball goes they’ll be too far from it to reach it.
