This week in a 4.0 league match, me and my partner fubar'd on a critical point. Break point, set point and I was receiving on the ad side and we were playing two back for first serve returns bc the server had a hard swinging lefty serve. He swings it out wide and I hit a sharp topspin crosscourt angled backhand and move in behind it assuming my partner would do the same. The server gets a racquet on it and rolls it right in between us (my partner stayed back) cross court down the middle of the court.
Should I have stayed back and let my partner work himself in, or should he have been aware enough to move in on my quality return? We created a nice hole in the court for the server to hit into. Oops.
