If your return stays low, the best a volleyer can do is play neutral. Low returns win doubles. What doubles tip changed your game the most? Follow for smarter tennis takes #tennis

The best doubles return advice I received: Your target is NOT a spot on the court. Your target is a HEIGHT over the net. If your return crosses 3–4 ft above the net, the opposing net player will eat it alive, even if it would land at a good spot crosscourt.

Sinner escaped a scare against Spizzirri and has been playing decisive tennis since. Look for him to earn break chances by dominating second-serve returns. Sinner seems to have found his form and needs to serve well to consolidate any breaks he gets in the SF and potential final.

Rybakina shows the importance of a dominant serve, winning 75% of first-serve points. Work to increase pace and hit spots well for both first and second serves, and then follow it up with a quality +1

Pegula has been dominant in gaining slight advantages in her opponent’s service games, averaging 9.6 break chances per match. Play with purpose early in return games (0-0 to 15-15) to make your opponent feel the pressure

Boost your game with key areas of dominance from the 4 women’s semifinalists at the Australian Open… Sabalenka is dominant when she makes first serves. The serve and first ball have purpose and intention. It’s planned and decisive before the point even starts

Rybakina is calm, cool, and collected in the Melbourne heat. She is dominating with her serve and groundstrokes. She will need to continue this in tough matches against opponents who also like to play first-strike tennis to bring home the title.
