Tennis Tips from Eugenio ...

Here are some key tips for returning serves in doubles tennis:

• Stand close to the service line, just inside the baseline. This aggressive positioning lets you take the ball early and put pressure on the serving team.
• Focus on getting the return back deep, ideally aiming between the two opponents. A deep return prevents them from easily attacking at the net and gives your partner time to move forward.
• Keep your return low - avoid hitting high, loopy returns that are easy to put away. A low shot makes it harder for the net player to be aggressive.
• On a second serve, move over to your weaker side and dare your opponent to hit to your strength.
• Send up a deep lob over the net player's head.

"Sportsmanship for me is when a guy walks off the court and you really can't tell whether he won or lost, when he carries himself with pride either way"
