These 5 main strategies for doubles will get you and your team winning matches faster: After the return of serve, get to the non-volley line. You will have an easier time returning the ball during a volley. Next, keep the opponent pinned to the back line by returning the ball deep. Hit the ball towards your opponent’s feet, as it is more difficult to return. When returning a shot down the middle, communicate with your partner. Lastly, learn how to move together with your partner and talk to one another about where you are going. Your synchronization is important to winning matches.
