You need every piece of weaponry you can to beat somebody who is top 10/20 in the world. One key thing for me is the use of the hold and the use of deception. Every single player in that top 10 is so deceptive!
The use of the hold is something that can really help you. It can be quite a subtle thing and it certainly not easily accomplished. It will not happen overnight and it needs to be practiced!
So when I'm holding my racket still for a few milliseconds that takes a tiny bit of time away from my opponent as it can stop them still on the 'T'. This is what I want because moving from a standing position for them is much more difficult than moving through the 'T'.
The key thing I try and think about rather than plainly thinking about hold are the different paces of swings I can use. I just try to keep that in mind when I'm playing really!
