Hi Bharti,

In the practice situation you may find that she is tightening a little in her shoulder.  This will restrict the movement in the stroke.  If in training she is relaxed this tension may not occur.  The other thing to think about is how predictable the placement is of the ball coming to her in training.  Practice more random drills incorporating topspin to get this closer to what she will face in a match situation.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
