Don't Stand at the Baseline When Your Partner Is Returning

One of the most common positioning mistakes in doubles happens before the point even begins. If your partner is returning serve, do not stay back at the baseline with them.

Doing so gives your opponents extra time to control the net and puts your team on the defensive from the very start.
