General Doubles Tactics
Strategy
Stefan Arak Asked 13 years ago
Dear Alois and Jeff,
I love the videos you've made, however I can't seem to find any videos that provide guidance for doubles play. I understand you may not be as proficient in doubles as you are in singles, but do you have any tactical tips and general strategies that I can apply during a doubles match?
Best Regards,
Stefan Arak

Hi Stefan,
We haven't made any doubles videos as yet. It is an idea for us for the future.
We do have a few previous Ask the Coach questions on the topic. Just type in 'Doubles Tactics' into the search box at the top of the Ask the Coach page to see them.
