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.
