Chemistry and good communication between you and your partner is very important especially during the serve. Knowing each other's playing style well and what would they do in a certain situation will help you or your partner to navigate safely out of the way while the other player are doing their job. Paying good attention to your enemy is quite important and discussing with your partner about strategy not only improve gameplay but chemistry. Hope this helps :)
