USTA Tips for building a good doubles team


1. Be a good partner. This means that you should be encouraging and understanding. Support your teammate with energizing comments and make sure that your body language is positive.

2. Play tactically sound doubles:
a. Make your return of serves.
b. Get a high percentage of your first serves in, and be
accurate with them.
c. When is doubt, play balls low and down the middle.
d. When you have a high, easy ball- especially when you are at the net, be decisive with your shot.
e. When you are in a defensive position, play defense.

3. Play together frequently, so that you develop some familiarity and chemistry.
