What is your doubles IQ?
Do you play the percentages and play smart from
the back court and play like THE SHARK at the net?
Is it a surprise when you make your first serve……or…
a surprise to opponents when you have to hit a second?
Serena Williams only holds one ball when she steps up
to serve……she has a one ball mentality and, like most
great doubles players, makes 8 out of 10 first serves.
Team court positioning
Two up formation beats one up one back formation.
The first team to the net has a greater chance to win the point.
One up and one back is only acceptable against one up and one back.
One up and one back is the most vulnerable position against two up.
Winners
Winners are hit from the net, not the baseline
A volley is easier than a ground stroke for a put away.
The baseline player’s responsibility is to set up the net player to hit winners.
Aim your overheads at the closest person near you, seek the weak !
