10 doubles strategies beginners get wrong

Success in doubles often depends on avoiding common tactical mistakes that lead to unforced errors.

Many players struggle with moving toward the kitchen as a cohesive unit which leaves open gaps.

Giving away the middle of the court is a frequent error that allows opponents to hit easy winners.

Communication before the point begins ensures that both partners understand their specific roles.

Targeting an opponent's feet rather than their face or shoulders reduces their ability to counter-attack.

Winning the points that seem repetitive or boring is often the key to outlasting a tough team.

Key points

• Moving in sync with your partner prevents gaps in the middle of the court.

• Aiming for the feet of your opponents makes it difficult for them to attack.

• Consistent communication before the point clarifies who takes the middle balls.

• Stacking can be used to keep both players on their strongest hitting sides.

• Winning the boring points is often more effective than hitting flashy winners.
