A lot of players lose points the same way. They rush. They force winners too early. Go for too much. Try to finish points before the rally is ready.

If you keep losing doubles matches, it’s easy to blame the obvious things. Missed volleys. Weak serves. Unforced errors. But most of the time… That’s not the real problem.
