Doubles – Server’s Court Position After 2nd Shot

Brent | December 24, 2008 in Court Positioning, Doubles, Doubles - Server | Comments (0)

One of the big court positioning mistakes I see in doubles is where the server ends up after their 2nd shot.

You know, they serve and come in behind that serve and then play their 2nd shot, normally either a volley or 1/2 volley back cross court to the returner.

And invariably what happens is the server gers too close to the net.

Even if you’re about in the middle of your service box, the returner, who is cross court from you, now has a really good opportunity to play a nice deep lob over you.

Check out this court positioning diagram video.

Doubles – Returner’s Partner Tip #2

Brent | December 22, 2008 in Court Positioning, Doubles, Doubles Poaching, Volleys | Comments (0)

Let’s do a quick followup on our last court positioning tip for the Returner’s partner in doubles.

We touched briefly on it, but I want to be a little more specific if your partner returns serve shaprly cross court into the server’s alley.

As the returner’s partner, what do you immediately need to do maximize court coverage for that situation?

Doubles – The Returner’s Net Partner – 1

Brent | December 18, 2008 in Court Positioning, Doubles, Doubles - Returner of Serve's Partner, Return of Serve | Comments (0)


I see this doubles court positioning mistake all of the time and at almost all skill levels.

If your partner is returning serve in doubles, and your partner plays a low cross court return of serve away from that server’s net partner, what you do next as the returner’s partner will probably determine whether or not your team is going to win this point.
