Olympiad Proof Problem - Day 2

This is the second proof problem I am posting. Try these problems and post your working. I will eventually post my solution to all of these notes, named "Olympiad Proof Problems", three days after I post them. So here is the problem.

Consider any ten distinct points $P_{1}$ , $P_{2}$ , $P_{3}$ $\ldots$ $P_{10}$ in the square $\mathcal{S}$ of unit side length. Prove that one can find a pair of points among those ten such that their distance is atmost $\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$ units.
