Tennis Strategies (Doubles)

Last week we talk about tennis strategies and 陳冠文 ask me about an example of serve and volleyer(發球上網型) in The Prince of Tennis. Well…since Takeshi Konomi (許斐剛) intends to make his main characters incredibly strong, nearly all of them are all court players(全面型),so, after racking my brain, I eventually found out an inappropriate instance, for his is not very famous, that is Akutagawa Jirou (芥川慈郎), a player who are good at volleying(截擊), in HYOTEI(冰帝), defeated by Fuji Syusuke(不二周助) in his first appearance…. 

This week let’s watch some Doubles strategies. Simply talk, we can categorize them into three types.

The first one is both-up strategy. To be both up to the net, the player needs to rush to net after serving, therefore, it also called serve and volley doubles, yet as you can imagine, when both players are close to the net, the over-head shots(高吊球) will become their nightmare. However, if their volley skill is awesome, their opponents will do get into troubles, because they barely have enough time to deal with the balls.

Since we have both-up, there must be a both-back strategy. This strategy is not offensive but defensive, and it is a useful response while our competitors both come to the net, like the picture shows.

The last one is the most common and complicated one, up-and-back strategy. Let’s first glance at the picture. Server starts his serve in backline and the other player stay behind the net, and that’s the simple type of up and back strategy, and with the change of the game conditions, it can turn into both up or down strategy. Besides, it can also vary into the well-known Australian Doubles(澳大利亞陣型) and the I-Formation(I陣型)

As usual, enjoy the funny video~~.

Thank for your reading. Have a nice day~
