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.
