STRATEGY
The strategy in Squash Tennis is basically the same as Squash Racquets;
i.e., to control the so-called "T" or the intersection of the service
court lines, by keeping your opponent up front, off to the sides, or
behind you, the majority of the time (see fig. 2 [Desired court
position.]).
The fundamental stratagem can only be carried out by your learning a wide
assortment of Squash Tennis shots and perfecting your repertoire with
practice and experience against many different types of opponents under
competitive situations.
You will have to fight and play hard for this position. Always head for
the "T" immediately after hitting the ball, but taking care not to
interfere with your opponent's stroke.
All of your shots should be hit with a purpose, which is to keep your
opponent off balance, away from the "T," and of course, eventually to
defeat him. Change of pace, therefore, is of utmost importance. Break
up your opponent's rhythm, never allow him to get grooved, frequently do
the unexpected, so that he loses confidence in his anticipation and,
subsequently, goes on the defensive.
