During a decider set in doubles if a player reaches 5 side changes .... does the combination change too?

Hi Utkarsh,

Yes the combination does change.  The way we do this is that the receivers change.  So if I was meant to return the next serve, my partner would now return.

In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
