Nancy’s Tennis Tip of the Month
A Winning Doubles Strategy:
The first general rule in doubles is the team at the net has the advantage. This rule affects almost all aspects of doubles strategy so I’ll start with the serve.

Serving is more of an advantage in doubles than singles because it allows the serving team the first opportunity to advance both players into volley position. This gives them control of the net and a high probability of winning the point. The server’s partner should stand approximately halfway between the service line and net and about halfway between the center service line and sideline. In order to hit more damaging volleys it would be advantageous to stand in the center of the court with your nose hanging over the net, but this would be obviously suicidal, since the receiver would have plenty of room to lob or return down the line.

The net player should adjust his position depending on the receiver. If you find the receiver never lobs, move in closer to the net. If the receiver never goes down-the-line, move closer to the center of the court to reduce the area in which he dares hit. Some players always position themselves in the same place at the net, no matter what the receivers do. This is a mistake. Be aware of the receiver’s capabilities and adjust accordingly.
