Hi JinMeng,

I don't have any recommendations at this stage.  Others may know of such books and be able to help you out.

We are in the process of filming a Course on Match Strategy for our Premium Members.  They will receive a new lesson each week on a different aspect of tactics.  We are going to do sessions on the basic strategies you need to employ and then go on to things like specific tactics when playing against different styles and also how to play as each of those styles.  This is something that may be of interest to you.

Tactical Planning

Spin, speed and placement are the 3 things you need to focus on when coming up with your tactics against each of your opponents. Start with the serve and your third ball attack. Figure out what type of serve your opponent finds most difficult. Find out where is the best place to direct your first attack. Is your opponent better at blocking with their backhand or forehand? Does your opponent prefer a faster topspin or a slow spinny topspin? Do the same for your returns.
