Anti-Net-Play Tennis Tactics

This new lesson at Operation Doubles Tennis is instruction for both singles and doubles players. It's a survey of the tactics you can use from the baseline against net players.

In doubles, you avoid hitting to a net player whenever possible, so these tactics are for use in the Both-Back Formation against the Both-Up Formation.

Some are hard-hit shots, but some finesse errors out of net players.

In any case, the plan is to use these anti-net-play tactics to win the point outright OR earn a chance to hit a forcing shot yourself...thus working your way off the defensive and back onto a level playing field or one that is tipped in your favor.

Check out this list of tennis tips for use against net players, and make sure you are aware of all your options. From the baseline against good net players, you need them.
