Great strategic analysis on where to be on the court, and then followed up with a illuminating demo.! Also , I loved the positive example of coaching skills (e.g. stay positive, assess/read and apply strategy, and then repeat.

Thank you!

Any time Gigi or Martina teach doubles, it's awesome. Good drill examples too. Good to slightly favor the backhand ready since it's most versatile for most incoming balls and shots hit quick and hard into the body. Favoring the forehand can lead to getting nailed with a hard shot. The backhand is your shield and weapon at the net.

Haha. “I click, I listen, I apply”

Love the channel and whilst I don't question what Gigi is saying there is a HUGE difference between pro level dubs and rec player low level dubs. What works at one level doesn't tend to work at the other as the players just don't have the shots or physicality to effectively play pro tactics.

It would seem that way. Statistically speaking rec level and pro level are actually very similar when it comes to patterns and strategies. Craig OShannessy has stats from 4.0 level play and pro level play that correlate.

I agree, to an extent. There's a difference, but a lot of what she spoke about was applicable to all levels.

Orange guy looks pretty solid.

Should the diagonal poach movement start before the opponent even hits the ball? Sometimes when I wait for the opponent strike the ball and try to observe the trajectory, I don't have enough time to cut it off

I start my diagonal movement when they’re about to drop the racket, but it depends on your athleticism for sure

Great drills. People don’t get that you’ll make a lot of errors doing this at first but once the players know how to move it gives them the advantage at the net. Glad you showed your guys struggling at first and encouraged proper movement. For some reason people will drill from the baseline all day long and not care if they make an error. But do a net drill people want to give up after a few tries. Just need to spend time up there.

It seems your fake is often a head fake which I need to learn. As an old fat guy, if I get my center of mass moving laterally, it ain't stopping.

A fake to me is any movement that distracts the opponent...doesn't have to be a huge move!
