Obviously if we can't beat these weak doubles teams, then we are weaker. Frustrating thing is that individually the guys on our teams and I can manhandle the other teams' players in singles. For example my doubles partner and I have each beaten the championship team's players in singles by 6-1, 6-3, 6-0, etc. It is not even close. We can make them run all day with superior serves, ground strokes and footwork. Most of our opponents have weak 1HBH that can be exploited all day in singles.
However in doubles, we always lose 4-6, 5-7, 2-6, 6-7, etc. Some other teams are even worse than them and we cannot even beat them. It's like we are playing 2 singles vs 1 doubles team. We have little or no strategy, other than fire away at the opponents at the net.
We are playing in another doubles tournament in 3 weeks (3 doubles teams per club) and we need to win at least 1 match to save face and sanity. Our team is becoming the sacrificial lambs for the other teams. We are the one team that EVERYONE wants to see in their draw. What to do? What to do?
P.S. Actually I would love to hear from players from the other side of the net. Players who feast off doubles teams like us. What they do to beat us, what would trouble them, for example heavy topspin, drop shots, flat shots, etc.
