I always have this fear of colliding with my partner in doubles.  Many people in my club have the same problem.  How do you not fear about colliding? And will you make a video about this?

Hi Jasper,

Try to work out a method of moving.  You can either move around your partner or move side to side and out of the way.

We have a tutorial on this called Doubles Strategy in our Doubles Tactics section.
