Part of why I equally enjoy both singles and doubles ... I love the aggressiveness of doubles and in singles there is real pleasure in the patience and at the same time finding your kill shot moments.
Now to add another type of player to the list I don't want to partner with ... someone who is impatient or un-steady at baseline. In doubles you rarely are going to win the point from the baseline .... why are you trying on every single point?
From the sounds of it tho, you at least have the ability to be patient in singles.
Most doubles players I see do not have the skills or ability to sustain a competitive rally. They hide this deficiency by playing doubles where it’s justifiable to be overly aggressive.
I disagree tho. Considering there is a teammate there that one should be respectful of and trying to work with to construct points.
But I see very little construction or actual teamwork. It’s just 4 people on the same court, doing their own thing, and keeping score.
That’s why I say the game gets a lot easier to win with just a tad bit of patience & strategy. Letting the two opponents spaz out on every return stroke is easy pickings.
These same players I crush in singles.
Their excuse is that they’re too old to cover the court anymore. Which is BS. Their problem is they cant construct a point.
I think in doubles it’s more dynamic because you need to work with a partner to construct that point. And in my case, since Im playing in round robin training sessions, I dont even know any of my partners so there is a feeling out process. Even more reason to be patient.
But Im conditioned for this. Decades of pickup basketball forces you to learn how to build chemistry with teammates as fast as possible. So that’s my main intention going into a doubles set. Im less focused on the opponents and more focused on how to work with my teammate. My assumption, based on other sports, is that this has an exponentially better impact on our results than our individual play.
I dont get the impression my partners are on the same wavelength. Especially when they start off voicing their displeasure with having to play with me. And these arent even the reasons I hate doubles. But Im giving it a honest shot.
I need to find a good partner that wants to play WITH me.
But yeah, bad behavior and swearing is never okay. This reminded of a high-ranked corporate director I once played golf with, or we were a gang of five. He got so pissed off after missing a decisive putt that he threw his golf bag in a nearby pond and headed straight to his car. Just to come back two minutes later do dive after his car keys he'd put in the bag pocket.
