Hi Johnny,
If you can initiate the placement then it is harder for them to do this. If you are serving, think about where you are going to serve so that is makes it harder for them to attack you. Similarly if you are returning, then work on the placement of your return of serve.
Those first few balls in the rally are the crucial ones that determine how the rally is played.
