Hey, hey, this is Sehaun with the GoTennis Podcast powered by Signature Tennis.

Today's tennis tip comes from Coach Nathan Singleton.

Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Welcome back everyone.

This is Nathan from First Serve University, your tactical specialist, giving you tactical

advice on how to win more matches.

Today let's talk about a formation that's not used anywhere nearly enough in doubles

matches and that's the Australian formation.

The Australian formation is when you have your partner stand in the middle of the box,

basing towards the returner while you're serving on the same side.

And what this does is it makes the returner have to hit the return down the line on a consistent

basis.

So if you find that your opponent's return is very good either with an angle or a strong

shot to the back of the baseline in the corner, use the Australian formation.

It really challenges the returner to do something different by having to hit down the line

consistently.

Just remember that when you're in this formation as soon as you serve as the server, make

sure that you run over to cover the shot down the line.

Let me know how you find success with this formation and using it more often.
