Lesson 2:
Court Positioning, Targeting, and the Side T
Coach Jerry Ticer dives into the specifics of positioning and shot placement for doubles tennis. He introduces Rule Number Two, focusing on the importance of positioning your feet inside the singles sideline to accurately hit deep targets that your opponent can't reach. He emphasizes the significance of hitting a target near the back service line to keep your opponent off balance. The lesson then progresses to Rule Number Three, which teaches players to adjust their target when they find themselves outside the singles sideline.

This lesson highlights the adaptability needed to navigate court positioning and optimize shot accuracy in doubles play.
