While I do agree with you, it doesn't entirely solve the issue because roughly half the time they will have the ball on their side already (although you could argue that in those cases you have more time to be ready)
But yes, very good practice overall. It only has upsides.
Good point.
If they are picking up the ball, and I know they are a fast server, I'll make sure I'm ready.
If they don't give me much time (because they've caught the ball, or the ball was put in the net on the previous point), I'll make a point of moving away from the table, maybe even turning my back on them (pretending to do something), and then turn around when I'm ready.
But..... All of this being said, if they are super quick, and there's a chance I won't be ready (and this happens more than once), I'll do what everyone should do.....
Ask them to slow down.
It's amazing what happens when you ask people nicely!
