I really want to give this video at least ten thumbs up, because I've never seen a video like this! Simple, but very logical and effective rules, no empty phrases and at each time on point - thank you very much for this diamond!
You make such good videos. The clarity of your explanations is up there with the best. You've helped me so much with the technical part of my game purely due to the way you speak. Love it - keep them coming!
I have seen several as I started with my daughter playing doubles agains friends. From all videos this is my favourite as it comes with easy to remember and follow tipps. Thank you!
Love these tips! Thank you. Just heard Rajeev Ram in an interview say he gives up the lines in basically every match. It’s going to be a big mental shift but I’m really trying to commit to this in my upcoming USTA league!
Hi Ashley. Long time, no see. I doubt you'll remember me, but I've just resubscribed to your channel. I left before because I'm 73 years old and play strictly doubles, and you had very little doubles content. So yes, I am absolutely interested in more doubles info and insights. I hope to stick around this time... thx!
If you can. Your options depend on the type of ball you’re receiving for your approach. A higher ball is easier to hit down at your opponents feet but any time you aim towards the net player, low is the key!
@@TheTennisMentor yeah I am. All my forehands are too tight and I look like I’m guiding the ball over the net and don’t get any wrist lag but when I loosen up I feel like I lose a lot of accuracy
Great tips. Good luck trying to get those thick club players (yes, even the advanced ones) to follow them. I've tried for over 10 years and the reasons i get are too scared to get hit by a serve or they want to cover rhe side. Its idiotic.
How does felix record the matches, swing stick? phone? does he have to ask the other player if they let him record? If i do it at my junior tournaments, will officials or players make me take it down?
He usually uses an action camera (like a go pro). Yes, he always gets permission from the tournament officials and each player. Sometimes he is unable to record. I’d say that you’re probably less likely to be able to record junior matches for safeguarding reasons.
One exception: when at the net and opponents hit a ball near a line, you should 'call the line' to allow your partner to play the ball instead of needing to make a call. After ball bounces, turn back forward. Similar: as returner's partner, you must call the service line first, then turn back forward.
@@lbjeffries - I disagree. I, and most I play with, appreciate knowing they have a green light to hit an overhead out of the air instead of running back to get it on the bounce.
You can't track the ball to the center on a serve at the 3.0 level because most 3.0 players, if its to their forehand, will try to go down the line on that ball. I know it sounds stupid, but 80% will do it.

Hi Walter, I remember you, nice to have you back!
@@TheTennisMentor, btw, I saw you on tennis Nerd. Nice job...
Beside the great tennis content, you are a good native language teacher, it is a pleasure to listen 👏
Thanks! 😃
Thanks Ashley!
You’re always welcome! 🤝
excellent advice!
Super good. I love these tips.
Great tips! 👌 So you would hit an approach shot at (the feet) of the net player?
If you can. Your options depend on the type of ball you’re receiving for your approach. A higher ball is easier to hit down at your opponents feet but any time you aim towards the net player, low is the key!
very nice tips , thank you
Great video! Can you make one on wrist lag on forehands?
Yes, are you having trouble?
@@TheTennisMentor yeah I am. All my forehands are too tight and I look like I’m guiding the ball over the net and don’t get any wrist lag but when I loosen up I feel like I lose a lot of accuracy
Very useful !
Valid doubles pointers!
Thanks A!!!!
Trying to find you vide about over using technique vs normal play, anybody can help. Thanks
Great video 👍👌
Thanks buddy!

I think you are the best Tennis coach on the Internet.
So so good.
Thank you 😊
Which one are you going to use first?
Scootching over at the net!
TRACKING THE BALL! 😁

Good common sense advice. Thanks.

You shouldn’t say anything if the ball is in, that’ll just confuse your partner.

Interesting way to change a subject. But
why did you do this to Sansa??!
What?
@@af02271he or she probably thinks Ashley resembles Little Finger from Game of Thrones.
Hahahaaaaa! Weirdly not the first time someone has commented this on a video of mine 🫣
I was wondering what on earth you were talking about until I googled Sansa 😂… am I the only person that has not watched Game Of Thrones??
You can't track the ball to the center on a serve at the 3.0 level because most 3.0 players, if its to their forehand, will try to go down the line on that ball. I know it sounds stupid, but 80% will do it.
That means you can destroy them when they hit right to you😂😂
I love the baseline so I tend to dislike doubles.
I dont know how to thank you😢
You just did 😉
fewer unforced errors.
Great tips. Next time you should record the video with the sun behind you and not in front of you. It's hard to see.
