Americans focus on time when it comes to tennis.
I saw a post online that mentioned that the Spanish focus on timing while Americans focus on time when it comes to tennis. I believe he had a point.
Take no prisoners and fight to the last man. No retreat. I used to tell those students that tended to back up and move in to never give up ground. Having a great deep volley also made the court smaller so that you were closer to the net than you believed.
I remember myself telling students that they can compress time by moving forward and thus remove time from their opponent. Americans are time focused. Imagine when hey played some matches on parquet back in the '60s. Time was everything. There wasn't time for timing.
