In doubles the strategy is, traditionally, to
serve and volley. In other words, serve and head straight for
the net to join your partner.
Sometimes that strategy doesn't work. For
example, your opponent keeps crushing your serve back at your
feet as you come to the net. In this instance, and if you just
don't feel comfortable serving and charging directly to the net,
try the "Serve and Mosey".
Serve and Mosey simply means serve, hit a
ground stroke as an approach shot, and come to net. This lets
you concentrate on your serve, step into the court to hit an
aggressive ground stroke and advance closer to the net than you
would serving and volley at one time.
Remember, the best doubles teams still win the
points at the net. How you get there is up to you. Try the serve
and mosey.
