How to Become the Perfect Doubles Partner in Tennis?

Tennis is one of the most popular sports in the world and millions of people play it professionally and for entertainment and health purposes. Legends like Pete Sampras, Roger Federrer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal etc have made the sport famous among the youth. Tennis lessons in Dubai are given both for singles and doubles events but most of the people prefer singles because doubles is not so famous as compared to singles. Although, all the major world tournaments in the world like the US Open, Wimbledon, Australian open and the French Open have doubles events as well and which is why all the professional tennis players play doubles events too.

Doubles is considered to be tougher as compared to singles because it requires perfect synchronisation of both the partners during the match and anyone’s fault would cost a point to both as a team. Since it is very difficult to perfectly synchronised with the partner during the matches, in this article, we will discuss how you can become the perfect doubles partner in tennis

 

Things to keep in mind to become a perfect doubles partner

 

1) Talk and know your partner well

Prior to the match, the first thing you should do is get to know your partner. Most of the time, you won’t really know who you’re playing with until the day of the match and until you walk on the court in a tennis doubles competition or in a club match when one club faces another. If you have the chance to meet your partner before the match, do so. Get to know them, introduce yourself, and learn a few important details from them before the competition begins.

 

2) Only motivate each other

Being cheerful during the game is the second thing you’ll aim to do. Your partner may end up playing worse as a result of the extra pressure of how you respond after they miss an easy shot if you express your annoyance after that. Additionally, you are giving your opponent energy and displaying symptoms of annoyance and irritation with your partner, which feeds the opponents and makes them work harder to beat you. Keep your body language positive and happy during the conversation. Try to be as encouraging and cheerful as you can.

 

3) Try to be best with the shots that comes to you

The next part in becoming the ideal doubles partner is to take care of your business, which means making an effort to be reliable and efficient in all of your shots without worrying about your partner’s shots. Everyone makes mistakes, including the top doubles players in the world, so your partner should understand when you should understand when they make mistakes. However, if you take care of the majority of your points and you’re playing a high percentage game, you’ll become a favourite among your partners and someone that people want to play with. So always concentrate on your part and try to give your best in that.

 

4) Be energetic on the court

It could happen sometimes that your doubles partner might not be in the best of their form on that particular day. You see that they are not really taking interest in the match and easily giving points to the opponent making you lose the match. In such cases, instead of just letting go of the match from your hands and playing like your partner, be as energetic as possible and lead by example. Show your enthusiasm for the match by scoring points and cheering up for your partner even if he loses a point

Client Success Story

my coach is Chetun, I’ve been taking his class, both group one and individual one, both are great!!! He’s experienced coach, knows how to teach, especially for entry -intermediate level players. They also provide good racket (better if they replace some old strings). Very prime location and relatively good price for this quality.

Great location and reasonably priced. I've been practicing with coach Chetan for 6 months now, and I feel I've improved a lot thanks to him. He gives me detailed advice every session, which has helped me improve my technique. Recommended!

Outstanding practice with coach Jino Thomas. He is a tough sparring partner for skilled players that wish to keep up with their game during dubai breaks. But also intermediate/beginners can advance their quality with Jino's precious tips! Thank you Cap Sports Academy team!
