Serving short in Doubles

Strategy

Chris Thong Asked 12 years ago

Can you serve long in doubles?(I see a lot doubles matches and they serve short every time)

Alois Rosario Answered 12 years ago

Hi Chris,

You are allowed to serve long but it is not advisable. The opponent only has half the table to cover so it will be easy to attack if you serve long.

That is why they serve short most of the time.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
