Strategy
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.
A chopper likes to get back from the table and get into a nice rhythm. If you keep the defender close to the table in the early part of the rally, it's hard for them to transition back into their chopping position. So keep the ball short on your serve and try and catch them unprepared. Watch the video to find out more great tactics to use against a defensive chopper.
