Here's Carlos Alcaraz using a play called "Climbing The Ladder" against Jannik Sinner to go from defense to offense.
Alcaraz is returning serve from the bleachers, and starts the play by hitting a moonball return and "climbing the ladder" by moving closer to the baseline. His return also pushes Sinner back, a few rungs down his ladder.
From here, they exchange backhands, and Alcaraz is able to move a little closer to the baseline to get into an offensive position. With his last backhand, Alcaraz can now create an angle, pulling Sinner off the court and forcing the error.
