Here is the answer to your question. Tennis Players termed counterpuchers use the pace of their opponents to make their own shots more effective. Counterpunchers usually have short compact swings and excel at blocking through the ball or slapping a hard shot back using technique rather than brute power. Counterpunchers have very quick feet, they move to the ball early, and effectively make their opponents play an extra shot or two to win the point. Counterpunchers are usually grinders which means they are most effective working their opponents to the point of exhaustion through long rallys. This means counterpunchers are very fit and their game is predicated around playing high percentage tennis that reduces the number of errors during a match. This style requires that their opponent must play at a high level and work by setting up the points. An impatient player will have the most trouble against a counterpunching player because the increased risk of agressive play requires greater skill by limiting the number of errors during a match. Patient players that are willing to rally while waiting for a short ball to attack or a ball to play an effective approach shot will have the most success against a good counterpuncher.

A counterpuncher is a style of play that emphasize high percentage shots, typically from the baseline. The goal is to make it difficult for the other guy to hit a hard shot as well as to wait for a mistake. Most counterpunchers are fast, don't have very good serves, hit with lots of topspin.This style of play was quite common in the mid-to-late 1970s, especially on clay. Players would hit moonballs (lobs when both players are at the baseline) and rallies of 40 or more shots weren't uncommonn. This style of play has mostly faded due to increased power in tennis, but is still most prevalent on clay.
Players like Borg, Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario, Mats Wilander, etc. were considered counterpunchers.
