Ok so we started playing doubles every sunday now, just a little group of ours.
Another guy of a similar level as me, also trains and has good strokes, powerful serve etc..
Girl that is his doubles partner and girl that is my doubles partner are weaker players, they can play and hit solid strokes but more prone to errors, not as good movement, not that good net play, serve is not that fast tho not bad for rec standards.
Now im asking you guys for some strategies.
Last week we lost 4:6 6:7, before that we lost 3:6 4:6
Give me some little tips of tactics to try or strategies to try as im not a very experienced doubles player
I feel like im very good at net and good volleys and overheads and win many points there (been working on volleys and overheads lately often and it shows), but I think the biggest problem we have is the other guy, he has very good volleys and hands and he played alot of doubles so he moves well at net and anticipates and cuts off balls and its sometimes quite hard to get the ball past him, he just intercepts and kills the volley, and when I speed up the swing so the ball is faster I can get past him at times, but my girl partner doesn't have a powerful stroke so he tends to easily intercept her shots and they are not that fast so he just kills the volley into me or into the open court and theres nothing anyone of us can do about it.
