I believe by hitting early, besides all the other fun stats you see above.
Take a look at this photo of Stanislas in a match he won the other day against Sam Querrey:

Take a really good look. He was such a tough contender today to Djokovic because he hit the ball EARLY. I think this is such a great photo because it shows the concentration, the confidence, the sheer love of the game~ Stan is smiling!
And his racquet position in relation to the ball position. He is already there, at the ball, poised to strike! His back arm is held high, in perfect balance with the rest of his body.
I tuned in to this match in the 5th set, at 6-6, and was not disappointed! Truly some of the best tennis I have ever seen. Stan and Novak dueling head to head, not giving away any points, hanging there, serving strong!
Here is the last deciding point, watch how both are hitting!!
Such grace, such finesse!
Congratulations, both dueling Gladiators!!
