Singles and doubles improvement

Training

Wayne Sy Asked 13 years ago

Hi coach, I just wanted to ask something about improvement. If I were to improve and develop my singles performance, would I be able to improve my doubles performance just by improving my singles performance? thanks in advance

Hi Wayne,

Yes, singles and doubles performances are very closely linked. I don't like to focus too much on doubles unless you have a specific combination you are working on and it is close to a tournament.

You will see in Table Tennis that there are not really any specialist doubles players that are no good at singles.

Hi Alois,

Can I play the backhand serve with lefthander in doubles? If I can, where should I place my body for my next stroke.

Hi Nasko,

You can, but try to stay close to the middle line and then move quickly to your left after you serve.
