Hi Azhar,

Their basic principle is to defend o the backhand and put various amounts of spin on their defensive strokes.  When the attacker misreads the spin and puts the return a little higher, they will come in and use their devastating forehand to hit a winner.  Simple strategy but very effective at the highest level.  They are not doing anything magical, just doing what they do very well.
