USPTA Professional Brett Hobden offers helpful and insightful tips on doubles communication in the video clip titled “Creating a successful doubles team – Frequent communication,” taken from an episode from “On Court with USPTA.” In this video, Hobden discusses the use of communication between doubles partners through hand signals, talking about strategy plans and giving each other words of encouragement between points. Having this constant communication is key to keeping both players mentally focused and balanced.
Tip:
During a doubles match, communication between partners is critical. By talking with one another, players have a better sense of where their partner is moving, where to anticipate the next shot and how to best execute a winning strategy. Whether it’s through the use of hand signals before a point, giving verbal signals or commands during a point or discussing tactics between points, improved communication allows players to work as a team and become successful together.
