If you watch the best players in the world, you'll see that everything they do is built upon a solid length game. If the quality isn’t there then the opportunities to attack the front of the court do not exist. If you reference some of the most attacking players of all time, Jonathon Power, Amr Shabana, Ramy Ashour, they all hit sublime lengths that allowed them to seemingly hit winners at will.

Whether it’s a lifted backhand drive, an attacking lob, or a beautifully crafted dying length, there’s an art to putting your opponent under pressure in the back corners. What’s more, developing the ability to show options to go long or short can lead to simple lengths becoming outright winners.
