The 10 Cardinal Rules of Doubles

John Mills Photo
John Mills, USPTA

Beat your opponent to the net.

  • Lob your opponent away from the net.

  • Bring out the best in your partner by allowing him/her to play their own side of the court.

  • Try to hit most of the balls "on the fly."

  • First serve in. "Jam" them with heavy spin so you can get in.

  • Take charge instead of hoping your opponents miss.

  • Mix up returns to keep the net person "honest."

  • Establish your favorite return early.

  • The closer player (to the net) has priority on all balls.

  • Server and "crash" and chip and charge on important points.<
