Episode notes
Declare Who Takes Thirds Pre-Serve
- If you prefer not to take inside-out backhand thirds, tell your partner and stand accordingly before the serve.
- Let the left-side player take middle thirds so they can use their forehand advantage.
Crash Middle To Close Angles
- Crash toward the middle after your partner's third to pinch angles and pressure opponents.
- Poach with a backhand while advancing to cut off their options.
Don't Reach For Middle Balls On Right Side
- Avoid reaching with an off-balance backhand on middle balls; leave those to your partner's forehand.
- Only cover middle with a difficult shot if your partner is pulled way off court.
