Hi Nouman,

The timeouts can be useful to break up the rhythm of your opponent. It can also give you some time to collect your thoughts and calm yourself if things haven’t been going well in the match.

During the timeout you can think about the strategies you need to be using.  Focus particularly on the next point or maybe two and what you can implement to win these points.

Also take a look at this previous Blog on Timeouts.

Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
