About this episode
2nd serve points only account for about 35% of points in doubles, but it's crucial to have a good 2nd serve strategy. Your goal should be to win 50% or more of your 2nd serve points. In this episode, I share some ideas on improving your 2nd serve strategy for doubles players with strong, medium, and... WEAK 2nd serves. When should you use formations on 2nd serves? Is it okay to poach or fake on a 2nd serve? What should you do if your partner has a weak 2nd serve and the opponent is crushing it at you? You'll learn tactics and game plans for handling all those situations and more. Sign up for Tennis Con 7 for 40+ free lessons from top tennis coaches. This week only!
