Doubles strategy/tips Part 1
Here are a few TIPS to keep you in the match long enough to WIN...
* if the ball is in your "box", it is yours. Poach it...
* chase the lob down, hit it high and deep then recover your footing to close back in again to the service line.
* if one person is on defense(on the baseline), the other should be on offense(on the service line). 2 players on defense is not a good strategy....
*FINISH THE POINT when you have it on your racket. Do not give your opponents a second chance..keep your racket face forward and punch that ball into the open court
