Hi Prince,

It is important to make your opponents move and try to get them to get in each others way.  So hitting the both shots to one side will achieve this often because they both have to move into and out of that position.

During one game you are hitting to one player so also work out what that player doesn't like.  The type of strokes and serves.

You also need to think about moving yourselves.  After each shot get out of your partners way so that they can come in and play a shot effectively.
