Did you know Martina Navratilova? Do you know why she won last Wimbledon Mixed Doubles? She is 46years old at that time, but she did it!

What's her secret?

Dominating the net is the key to good doubles play for pros like Martina, as well as you. ?Serve and volley!? After the serve, approach the net and play your first volley from just inside the service line. This means you will have less court to cover.

Move to the net and go on the offense. When we play mixed doubles, men?s ground strokes are stronger and faster than women?s (except for the Williams sisters!) A woman doesn?t want to hit a ground stroke to male players. Volleys are all no bounce play, so the serving team has a big advantage. Women can win points easily instead of hitting ground strokes against male players. Try it!
