All other teams were into the second round. There appears to be more opposition to the change from the top doubles players, while those also involved in singles prefer the reduced playing demands. Best-of-five you have time to get in the match. I feel best-of-five, the better doubles team on grass probably a lot of times has a chance to come back. While other Grand Slams play the entire doubles tournament as best-of-three sets, at Wimbledon it means changing the rules during the event.
The better team will most cases come with a win. It's a lot of tennis to be played for anyone that's in more than one event, but that's what we think. If you have a best-of-five event, you should stick to a best-of-five event. As a team, you are allowed to choose who starts serving the set. So how should you decide who starts serving the second set? Again, it is better to have the stronger server start the team off.
By this time, you and your partner have both served at least once, so you know who has been having more success in their service games. Use that information to make your decision. Hopefully we can clear up any questions you have. In doubles, things become even more complicated because there are more people. Those are the basics, now how do serves work? Team A will serve the first point if it is their turn to serve their team served at After the first point, teams will switch off serving 2 points at a time.
This gets a bit more complicated in doubles. In doubles, teammates must alternate who serves each set of two points. Unlike starting a new set, the order from the set must be followed heading into a tiebreaker. However, if a 10 point tiebreaker is played in lieu of a third set, teams can choose who they want to serve first, as it counts as a new set.
This section will tell you everything you need to know about where to stand in doubles. There are two factors to this: where you should stand and where you are allowed to stand. In general, the serving team in doubles has an advantage. They will be standing on the opposite side of the court from their serving partner. You can see this below:. Although it is uncommon, the rules allow for them to stand on the baseline with their partner if they want.
The servers partner can also, by the rules, stand on the same side as their partner. Both of these options are highlighted below:. There are, however, a couple of rules on where you are allowed to stand when returning serve in doubles. When returning, you must stand in the court that you are receiving serve from. Your partner must stand in the opposite court. This is seen as an obstruction and is against the rules.
This rule is shown in the image below. After the return is hit, teams can do whatever they want. They can switch sides as they please, as long as it is during a point. This typically only happens when it is necessary by defense. This question comes up a lot. Are you allowed to switch with him? Yes, you can, but it has to be in between sets. If you are on the team that serves first, either you or your partner may begin the match by serving the first ball.
Either person on the opposing team may receive the first ball on the right deuce court. The partner will receive all serves to the left the ad court. The same player must serve the entire game. The serving order remains this way for the entire set but can be changed at the beginning of every set, just like the receiving order. You must then keep the same sides for receiving for the entire set, though you can switch sides for the following set. In returning shots except the serve , either member of a doubles team may hit the ball.
Whoops, something went wrong.
