Hey hey, this is Shaun with the Atlanta Tennis Podcast powered by GoTennis.

Today's tennis tip comes from Coach Ben Hesley of Bull Shark Sports.

Speaker:

Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Speaker:

Hi, this is Ben Hesley from Bull Shark Sports.

Speaker:

Today's tip is centered around doubles.

Speaker:

Hopefully this will help you have a successful out of season.

Speaker:

When you're a server or a returner, let your

Speaker:

partner work for you.

Speaker:

Sometimes I watch doubles matches and it looks like they're playing singles with four people

Speaker:

on the court.

Speaker:

Some of the best matches I ever played is when I served and my partner was in a position

Speaker:

to put the ball away.

Speaker:

So when you're out there, think about how your net partner, whether you're the server

Speaker:

or the returner, can help you win points.

Speaker:

Your job as a server returner is the number one, keep your net partner safe, and then

Speaker:

number two, set them up.

Speaker:

So when returning and serving, think about how you can set up your partner and I guarantee

Speaker:

you'll win more doubles points and more matches.

Speaker:

Good luck this season.

Speaker:

Well, there you have it.
