Tennis Doubles Ideas (2nd edition) :: tennis doubles
Apercu : All dogmatic statements are false! Doubles is not a power game. But traditional doubles is a game of finesse. Get the first serve in. And, too many double-faults is a crime. But, any old volley can win a point. So, be brave, and volley. Most returns should be cross-court, back to the server. Your partner should stay back. You can rush in if it was a nice return. Good doubles players never play one-up/one-back. When this happens, then they control the point. When they get to the net, they normally go to the net together. The server can get to the net, right away. The best alternative is the lob. It is not used enough in doubles. But, learn to play both sides. Aim between them or at their feet (hit down if you can). Get into the habit of calling the ball. Playing one-up/one-back is inferior to two-up. It takes a very good ground stroke to win a point in doubles. Any old volley can win. Get in there, and volley. This can cause the receiving team great indecision. Australian, by standing near the center line. Try to play solid doubles.
