Increasing your chances for the win in Tennis Douples

Doubles play in tennis is not at all the same game as singles. Your objective with every single stroke is to play with a specific plan in mind, avoiding at all costs any move that would put your partner in a bad spot. It is
 all about teamwork, not fabulous play by two different individuals. As a symphony with all instruments blending together to form a masterpiece, so is the doubles game of tennis.

The critical key in doubles tennis is to be definite you are always putting the ball in play. Seldom, seldom, seldom double fault when playing doubles. To do so is absolutely inexcusable. Your return of any serve must be correct and assured, not dicy and uncertain. Keep your return low and directed at the server who may be approaching the net.
Doubles tennis play is a game of patience. You require to wait to smash in the ace hit. Rare will be the successful pass of both of your opponents on the other side of the net. You'll require to be prepared for longer rallies, more intense exchanges with the opposing team, and waiting for the clear opening before taking the slam shot that wins the point.
Your objective as a member of a partnership is to always be attacking the ball. You'll be wanting to always play at the net and go for the kill when the opening is there. You can "poach," or steal a shot that would ordinarily be your partner's, but only when you have got the clear opportunity to kill the shot, or go for the obvious score. When you "poach" a shot from your partner, you have got a winning opportunity or you have got nothing. Don't ever hesitate to "poach" the shot if you are confident in your opportunity to make it.
Because your opponents, and your partner, are also thinking of the advantage to playing at the net you can be confident they are going to be working as hard to attain the coveted net position as you are. With that in mind, you ought to first think about every shot to be either a volley or a smash. Use the less-effective defensive shots only when there is no opening for a smash, or a volley.
