tennis doubles strategy

can some one help me with this tennis question ?

what are two service strategies i could use in a game of doubles to improve my percentage of winning points on my serve ?

1) Mix it up. Wide, up the middle, into the body.

a) Going out wide -- I would use this cautiously. If you can get a great angle and kick, it can pull the returner out wide and perhaps open up the cross court volley from your partner. However, if you don't place it well enough, it can open up lots of possibilities for the returner... it can open up a great down-the-line return passing shot. It also opens up more angles for the returner to go cross-court. If you do this, your partner should cover the alley well and look for the down-the-line return and you should be looking for a good cross-court return.
If you do to much o fthis serve, you're opponents will get a bead o nit and take advantage of the down-the-line and cross-court returns.

b) Up the Middle. I would use this a little more than the wide serve. This cuts down on the returner's angles, and sets you up for a volley better if you decide to come into net. The returner would have to hit an amazing angle to get it by your partner at the net down-the-line.

c) Body serve. Underestimated and underused. This can be really effective. It can set up a great volley for you if you catch the returner off-balance, and if it doesn't off-balance the returner, at least it wont give him/her a good look down-the-line.

2) Make sure you get your first serve in more than half the time... take paec off if necessary.

Tennis Doubles Strategy : How to Improve Net Play in Tennis

Tennis - How to Win Every Time You Play!

Imagine the following situation. Every time you step onto the tennis court whether it's to play a regular tennis game, a practise match or a competitive match - you WIN!

No, this is not a tennis how to serve lesson because that alone will not win you matches.

No, this not some kind of tennis act where I tell you to watch the tennis ball better and you learn absolutely nothing.

No, you can't get this advice from your local tennis shop, and there are no special tennis terms for what you are about to learn.

No, you can't just pop a tennis video on and learn it either.

BUT...

Yes, it is possible and I am going to show you how to do it!

So here goes - The tennis information on how to win every time you play guide.

First things first, a true story (yes it really is true!)

The whole "tennis how to win every time you play" thing started a long time ago when I learnt how to do it and finished most recently with one of the ladies I have started to coach!

Now previously, like most people I coach and see, Karen mainly judged her weeks' tennis on how many games and matches she had won. It also revolved around how she was still unable to beat this player or that player even though she was convinced she was the "better" tennis player with the "better" tennis shots (and the better tennis kit).

Everything was brought into sharp focus one day when I decided we would play doubles against one of the other local coaches and their pupil. We played and lost! But it was Karen's inability to reproduce the form she had been showing just 10 minutes earlier in the warm up lesson (and she was playing well).

We talked about things and I outlined some of the strategies I have in my Tennis Matchplay System Report at www.beatallthetennisplayersyouwant.com which is written for and works for players of all tennis levels and after a bit of head shaking she began to see that winning tennis matches was not all about just hitting tennis balls.

The following week we played the same pair and drew, with Karen playing much better, saying she just tried to play and place her shots better. Even though we had drawn the match, in her eyes she had made serious progress and in some way even had the feelings of having won (I think you might be seeing where I am going with this).

This was bought up another level the week after when she told me she had played some mixed doubles with a guy during the week and had lost. But she said for the first time since she started playing she realised that although they had lost the doubles as a pair, she was really happy with how she had played.

"Even though WE lost" she told me, "I, felt like I had won!"

And that is exactly the right way to approach things!

And that is exactly the right way for YOU to approach things!

So, from TODAY stop focusing on the OUTCOME when you play i.e. Win or Lose and start focusing on the PROCESS when you play i.e. raising your 1st serve percentage, cutting down on unforced errors etc.

If you think about it, just improving on a couple of things like your 1st serve percentage and unforced errors will help you WIN more matches anyway.

But, if you improve on the 1 or 2 factors that you choose to focus on (and I recommend you only choose 1 or 2), and lose the match then your opponent was probably too good BUT you can look back at the match with a really positive outlook in the knowledge that if you continue to focus on and improve on separate facets of your game you will be improving your tennis rankings and improving your tennis game out of sight.......and THAT is the way to WIN every time you play!

Remember & start it today.
