发帖数: 30533 | 1 Question to biok, serveok or any other strong female players.
Copied from TT:
Say you are captain of a 7.5 combo doubles team. You have a strong 4.0
player, and you have to pick a partner for her.
Even though the 4.0 is by far the strongest player on the team, she cannot
win a doubles match by herself. She needs the right type of partner. If she
has the wrong kind of partner, she could conceivably be beaten in a game of
Xtreme Keep-Away. Opponents can be expected to target the partner and avoid
the 4.0 with every shot.
Here are the 3.5 players you could choose to play with the 4.0. And yes, the
names have been changed to protect . . . well, to protect me!
Linda: Linda has good placement on groundstrokes but lacks pace. Steady
overall but cannot finish a point. Weaknesses are footspeed/footwork/
movement and shot variety. Tends to get pinned in the back corner with two
at net, or comes to net but stops in no-man's land and gets passed. Weak
overhead, weak but reliable serve.
Emily: Has a penetrating serve. Struggles with volleys and overheads. Tends
to push/lob FH groundies and struggles with BH. Does not come to net and
lacks passing shot/lob when pinned in back corner. Weak positioning and
court awareness.
Wendy: Singles player. Quick and fit, gets every ball back from the baseline
. Does not volley or poach. Uncomfortable at net and will backpedal; will
not transition. Struggles when opponents take the net due to lack of lob and
dipper, but will make them volley.
Carol: Good agility, quickness and net play. Will transition but can make
sitter first volleys. Makes too many UEs by being overly ambitious,
overhitting, or bad footwork. Good court sense/positioning/awareness.
Effective serve.
Mary: Hits a very heavy ball from the baseline. Volleys/overhead are great
some days but poor other days. Poor agility. Good positioning. Can sometimes
DF 3-4 times in a service game.
Who would you pick? |

Also our opponents may get moved by this pure team spirit and be
reluctant to beat us too hard (even when they are couples)!

发帖数: 2433 | 21 Linda may work the best since we don't know the 4.0's style.
when the pair is unbalanced, the most important thing is to hold the weaker
one's serve. it's easier when her serve is reliable and can sustain rally by
avoid the net player's cut. Linda has good placement of the ball which can
do just that. it's the 4.0's job to finish the point, not her, so her
weakness of coming to the net won't hurt. Linda can help at net too since
she's ok all around, which helps the 4.0 to hold serve by finish some easy
put away setup-ed by the 4.0. she can choose not to hit the overhead but do
a ground stroke or let the 4.0 to do it.
Emily can serve which helps, but her rally will be cut too many times. a
strong 3.5 serve alone won't win every game when there's a 4.0 returning.
Wendy is worse than Emily, she'll be killed by the net players.
Carol and Mary give away too many points without giving the 4.0 a chance to
help, they will be targeted all the time and the 4.0 can only watch them in
frustration. |
