How to Scout an Opponent for a Doubles Match

 In this episode, I answer a reader’s question on “How to scout an opponent?”

You’ll learn what I am looking for if I get to watch my opponent before our match.

A few of the questions answered include:

• Where should I watch my opponent from during their match?
• What are the most important shots to look for when scouting?
• How do I use the warmup to scout effectively?
• When should I make adjustments to my plan?

 This episode is great for competitive players who have a chance to watch their opponents match before they play. I do this all the time at USTA tournaments.

Upcoming: On Thursday July 28, I’ll be hosting a doubles webinar with Craig O’Shannessy from Brain Game Tennis. Craig, who has worked with Novak Djokovic, the ATP, and speaks at tennis conferences worldwide, will be sharing his best strategies and tactics for doubles. I’ll be presenting my WTA scouting reports used at the Australian Open & Wimbledon.
