Sorry but I do not see many small adjustment steps at the highest level play. Just specially watched recent Murray vs Lehecka in slow motion and if the ball is close, it is just one step to plant the back foot. A bit further, it is mostly one step, then planting the foot and shot. I do not even think there is time for adjustment steps at that level. Maybe 1 shot out of 5 there is something that looks like an adjustment step. Yes, I see those when they are adjusting for a lob. I see way more small steps in futures tournaments. What am I misunderstanding? Am I seeing it wrong?

Pros have their movement almost mastered so I see your point but for us normal folk and high rec players, the little steps really do help

You are correct that in certain circumstances, pro's just take 1 step into position, especially on a hard court. But the reason they can do that is their visual prediction is insanely good. They read where the ball is going more quickly and more accurately because they've done it millions of times. They've also trained their footwork to the nth degree so that when they do make movements, they are also extremely accurate. If you watch lower level players, when they take 1 step to the ball they invariably set up in the wrong position. And because of this they aren't able to execute their shot as well. The visual prediction isn't as good and the accuracy of the footwork patterns isn't as good. It's kind of like, Andy Murray can hit amazing and reliable forehands while looking down the other end of the court at contact. But that is the number 1 reason lower level players miss shots.
