My entire singles strategy revolves around forcing my opponent to hit a short ball. I want to hit a driving approach that puts them out of position to hit a passing shot. Either my approach shot is an outright winner or it forces an attempt of a passing shot that I can anticipate a volley or overhead which I'll put away in the open court.
This is what I consider offense- I control the angles. When I am forced to play defense (behind the baseline), I am playing high topspin shots cross court or down the middle to try to keep the opponent from using my own strategy against me.
