It's sad but I don't really care. I can sense the antagonism in doubles when they lost the point they have excuses like I can't possibly get that or don't say up that sound like out (because that's distracting apparently). Is it bad to think they are trying too hard to match my level that they actually took the fun out of the match by being too serious? I know what I'm getting myself into and so I play the match to play as a team. In other words to minimize their weakness and attack more than I should normally. The end goal is to do everything I could and if I have nothing to improve after the game then I've hit my ceiling with this person I'm playing doubles with. Sure I could give advice so they would advance to my level but I have a feeling their roadblock is a case of old age or just plain stubbornness. The former is less likely to give advice because they have self awareness that they are not really that good but the latter are people who give advice which churns out more players of similar caliber. The silverlining is at least there's more people playing tennis who would otherwise lead a non sport life if not for these people who wants to feel special or important. I personally don't feel anything of that sort. If anything I feel there's less incentive to play tennis knowing: I wouldn't learn or improve substantially on anything playing with aforementioned people, and they would feel antagonized for the above reasons. Then there are those who think they have the better idea (like a captain) and give advices base on past performance, which is perfectly acceptable, instead of the potential that could be. That kind of thinking is usually correct assuming the growth of the player can't be approximately figure out. In my case, since i'm literally copying another player, telling me to not do certain thing is basically taking a huge chunk of my game. Most of the time I don't care because I can always work on an area that is acceptable. I know my game so I know where I will ultimately end up which is the player I'm copying, so by telling me how to play in a certain way is effectively stifling my progress for the sake of a possibly higher chance of winning. My end goal is never to win but to learn as much as I can in the time I have so having someone telling me to play a certain way, even though intention is good, is not always good.
TLDR: The lesson here is don't give advices to anyone unless you are prepare to have your advice not follow. On the opposite end, if you want advice, don't just ask for it. Instead offer food or service or something of value so on the off chance you don't want to follow the advice, you won't be feel bad for slighting the person who gave you the advice. I'm still waiting for the guy who's a barber to give me free trim for tennis advice but to no avail
