Don't know how much doubles you and Jeff play, but what is the best strategy for positioning me and team mate at service and during match?

Hi Mark,
Jeff played at the Olympics in doubles so he was fantastic at that part of the game.
The key with positioning is to be fast enough out of your partner's way when they are hitting but close enough to be able to get back to a central position to hit the next shot. Some teams rotate around each other and others just move to the side. Find what works for you and your partner.
We also have a tutorial on this as part of our Premium membership in our Match Strategy section on Doubles Strategy.
