How Close Should You Play at the Net in Doubles Tennis?

The answer to how close should you play at the net in doubles tennis depends on the situation and your skillset as a doubles player.
If you're too far back on offense, the ball will drop, and you'll miss an opportunity to win the point.
However, if you're too close on defense, you won't have any time to react and might even get hit.
