As an old high school tennis coach I would also mention that the receiving team established control of the point with a deep return right back at the server. This forced her to back up and hit a lob. Also because of her position behind the base line near the center of the court her return angles were limited. Practice your return and have a placement and a purpose on every shot.
Another awesome video - thank you Ryan! For those asking about why the lob - Lobsters usually get fried! I always prefer to accelerate my returns, even when back paddling (so more of a forearm/risk stroke). A fast high-percentage (cross-court) is usually the best bet. Lobs I think should be reserved for when both opponents are close at the net and I am pretty certain I can hit it deep behind them.
Thank you for the video, so helpful as always! Re your first comment on where the server stands, I also tend to stand there in order no to give the receiving team a signal as to whether or not my partner will poach (sorry if what I just wrote makes no sense….). In other words, by standing there I can cross more easily if we have decided to poach.
When the black uniform team ready to hit an overhead , the blue team was saying" back back back". Why is it not a hindrance when they yelled back when the opponent team is ready to hit?
I think bc it’s part of the game. It’s not an attempt to purposely distract. As lo my as it’s part of the game and you’re not intentionally trying to hinder opponents you’re fine.
IF i see ny oponent moving back and the server moving in her direction leaving almost half the court open, on this shot, i aim for the left side open court.
It was a really deep return. So lobbing isn’t the worst idea. But this situation is super common. An easy overhead that should be hit toward the net player. 99% of club tennis players would lose badly to the players in this video.
OK. I'm not doubting that 99% of club players would lose to any of these high level college players, I was just asking why that shot was chosen and if it made sense, should it be a shot I could try in a similar situation. I don't normally look to lob off a return of serve, maybe I should? that was the reason for my question, thanks...
@@dzuckman totally get it. If I was her I’d would’ve tried to lob cross court. More room for error. She framed the ball so no way to know where she aimed. Thanks for the comments. I always find your questions and thoughts engaging. Have a good day! 🎾✅😊👍
@@2MinuteTennis thanks! And appreciate your reply. I did not really notice that she framed it until you pointed that out, but now I see it. So it wasn't a bad idea, just a bit of a maybe unlucky error. Thanks again.
Wrong. That overhead should have been spiked up the line. This is the reason American tennis is so bad. She hit that overhead weakly then hit the ball right to the opponent.

Your comment would be better without recto yourself as old.
It's amazing to see how much goes on in one four shot rally in doubles!

I like this video. I didn't think there was much to say about the point but it was useful.
Love the doubles strategy video! That USC paint scheme of green and red is just wild!

Helpful. Thank you.

Can you give some advice about return of serve and timing? I see she's pushing off the ground to help.
I love it!
what should I do if I am returning and the server runs forward to serve and volley and now they're both forward closing off the whole court?
lob
Lob if ur on the deuce side to the net player over their back hand side
In this same scenario, suppose the baseline player hit a deep lob. Where should the opposite baseline player hit the overhead?
I am guessing it would not be hit as an ever head. The player would be reduced to trying to drive a deep shot cross court starting over again
IF i see ny oponent moving back and the server moving in her direction leaving almost half the court open, on this shot, i aim for the left side open court.
I would hit the ball into open space where nobody is standing
You should make your videos 2 mins but upload 20 a day
That’s a good idea!!
The number strategy to win more is obviously finding a USC star to team up with you. 😆
i always aim at the family jewel of my opponent net guy, they usually i don't have to worry about ball going long or hitting the net.
This is a game, not war. Please reconsider.
WHY did the server try to lob in this situation?? It seemed like not the best idea (also not executed so great)

There's too much noise from people around. Why don't people know to be quiet during the point. Umpires always have to tell them to be quiet.
College tennis is different. You don’t have to be quite

Perhaps you should call this a tip instead of a change.
Please speed up the lesson….
Glad the video will help you win more matches Heather!
dude.. you have no clue on what you are talking about...And you talk way to much without getting to the point.
lol. You’re funny.

Thanks for your thoughts Stephen
