Many tennis beginners don’t know how to attack and score points in doubles games.

 

Certainly, unless you know your playing style, you won’t know what to do in a tennis match.

 

 

In fact, it is difficult for beginners to attack and get points.

 

For example, you can’t move forward and make parallel team when you can’t hit with low volley.

 

If you don’t know the strategy, the formation of parallel teams will only fail.

 

First of all, it is important to go back to the basics of doubles and think about strategies.


Basic strategy for tennis doubles

The basic strategy of tennis doubles is to hit the ball to a cross court.

 

The reason is to prevent the opponent’s front player from volleying.

 

The basic strategy is to continue the cross rally and volley the ball that the opponent’s back player makes a mistake or that flies toward the front player due to a control mistake.

Conversely, if you are volleyed by your opponent’s front player, you will lose points.

 

Your opponent’s front player may make a volley miss, but you should hardly think about it.

 

Even if you return the volley, there is no doubt that it will be a considerable disadvantage.

 

Therefore, it is important for the back player to hit the ball to the cross court so that the opponent’s front player does not volley.

 


Cross rally is difficult for beginners

However, isn’t it difficult for beginners to control the ball to the cross court?

 

In order for you to score points, you need to continue with the cross rally and let your opponent hit the easy ball.

 

However, in a match, even if you hit a ball to the cross court, you will be hit a ball back by your opponent.

 

Moreover, if you don’t hit a ball deep to the backcourt, hit a ball to a short cross, or control various balls on the same cross, your opponent won’t make a mistake.

 

Furthermore, I think it is difficult to control the ball that the opponent hits in the match.

 

Some balls are fast and some are spinning, and the ball hit by the opponent is not always the same.

 

Even if you try to hit to the cross court, you will be late and you will not be able to control it well.

 

For beginners with unstable strokes, it is difficult to continue the cross rally.

 


What is a strategy that even beginners can win?

In a match, all a beginner should do to win is to hit lob anyway.

 

The back player should hit the lob anyway so that the opponent’s front player does not volley.

 

The reason why hitting a lob is effective is that you don’t have to aim at the course very much.

 

If your opponent is in a one up, one back formation, you won’t be volleyed or smashed, whether you hit to a cross or a straight.

 

All you have to do is not let the opponent’s front player volley.

 

This is a pattern in which the back player rallies with a lob and the front player decides by volley when the opponent hits an easy ball.


If the opponent is a one up one back formation, aim for the center

If the opponent is a one up one back formation, it is effective to hit the ball to the center with a lob.

 

The reason is that it is difficult to hit the ball to the wide court from the center.

 

Therefore, the course to be returned the ball can be limited and mistakes can be reduced.

 

And because it’s hard to hit the ball to a straight from the center, it’s easier for the front player to go out on the poach.

It’s never too early to go out on the poach when your opponent’s back player moves to the center.

 

Front players will go out on the poach too early, which should increase their success rate.

 

The opponent’s back player is near the center, so hitting an angle volley will make it easier to decide.

 

If the opponent is a parallel team, aim for a straight

Let’s hit the ball to a straight with lob when the opponent’s back player moves forward and becomes a parallel team.

 

This is because when the opponent becomes parallel, the cross and center lobs are volleyed or smashed by the back player.

 

Therefore, it is a strategy to hit the ball to a straight with lob to break the formation of the opponent.

 

If you hit the ball to a straight with lob, the opponent’s side will change.

 

So we also switch between front and back players.

 

tennis doubles

 

When the back player hits lob, he goes forward and becomes the front player, and the front player move back and becomes the back player.

 

If your opponent returns the ball a straight, front player can volleys to the middle of the opponent’s pair.

 

If the opponent returns the ball to the cross, the back player hits the lob towards the center or the cross.

 

If lob enters deep into the backcourt, he can’t easily move forward.

 

You should have more chances to get points.


Hit a stroke when the opponent’s front player moves backwards

tennis doubles

If your opponent’s front player moves back in preparation for lob, you may be smashed even if you hit lob.

 

If the opponent is in a parallel formation and the front player goes down to the back, there is no place to hit the lob.

 

In such a case, switch to a strategy of hitting a stroke.

 

The front player is moving backwards, so the opponent shouldn’t be able to do much aggressive volleying.

 

Even if you hit the ball to near the center, the opponent’s front player will not be able to volley easily.

 

In this case, it is effective to hit the ball to the middle of the opponent’s pair.

 

If you hit the ball near the center, the net will be low, so you can reduce mistakes on the net.

 

Front players should move to the back of the service line to cover the court.

 


Summary

In order for beginners to win a doubles match, it is important not to let the opponent’s front player volley.

 

To that end, the easiest strategy is to use a lob.

 

If you use a lob, even if you have poor control, you will not be attacked unless it is smashed by the opponent’s front player.

 

Anyway, the strategy is to hit the ball with a lob until the front player has a ball that can be volleyed.

 

Then, when the opponent hits the easy ball, the front player scores points with the volley.

 

If the opponent is a one up one back formation, aim at the center and hit the ball with lob.

 

If the opponent is a parallel formation, hit the ball to a straight with lob to break the formation.

 

It is important for beginners to practice lob in order to win the match.
