Strategy
Hello Alois. Is it ok for the server to show their doubles partner signals under the table before they serve in order to communicate spin and/or direction? Additionally, if their partner "says ok" right before the serve is that considered a distraction for play or not a problem? Thanks, Walt Rayta.
Hi Walt,
A lot of doubles pairs will signal to each other the serve they are going to do. If the partner says OK before the point that would also be OK.
The pair isn't allowed to take too long to make the signal because that would be holding up the play but in most cases it takes one or two seconds only.
A lot of players don’t use their best serve enough — or worse, they use it at the wrong time. In this video, Jeff and Alois break down how to make smarter decisions about when to use your strongest serve and how to adjust based on your opponent, the score, and the pressure.
✅ What you’ll learn:
Your best serve should win you more than just a few points — it should help you win matches.
