Does two people make the opponent side stronger

Hi Alois,

So, where I play the players are not that strong compared to me. I therefore am thinking that why not have 2 people play against me using doubles rules. But then again I am not sure if that will make it harder for me or even easier than before.

So what do you think? If this way they do not become stronger than before, is there any way where I can play 2 against 1 type of game to make it harder for me?

Thanks.

Hi Chandrachur,

It is more difficult to play as a doubles than singles if you have to take it in turns.  If the two players can either hit it and get used to doing that then they can provide better practice.

#32 - Effective Returns

In this training plan we put together all of the different returns we've learnt and focus on producing an effective return. You should be aiming to topspin all long serves and then weighing up your options on the short serve. A good short push is a great option but you also need some variation with either a flick or a long fast push. Go out and put this training plan into action and work on improving your return.
