Doubles Game Styles: How to Counter Pushers, Attackers, & Baseliners

In doubles, you'll often play against a team with one of three different game styles.

• Pushers - they lob endlessly, never miss, and make you beat yourself.
• Attackers - they serve and volley, get to the net, and apply relentless pressure.
• Baseliners - they play straight-up doubles, usually 1-up 1-back, with really good groundstrokes that force errors and make you afraid to poach.

In this episode, I cover how to beat each of these types of teams, including recent examples where I saw it work. I'll share the best formation to use against pushers, how to give baseliners zero rhythm, and one vital thing you need to look for against teams who attack.
