| How the game is played |
| One-on-One
Doubles® is the first alternative, competitive
format to singles and doubles since the inception of the game in the
1870s. One-on-One Doubles can be played in both tournament and league
format. One-on-One Doubles® is a half-court, serve and volley competition played amongst two players. There is a divisible line drawn through the middle of the court from the center service line to the middle of the baseline. On clay, one can use a regular court liner to make this divisible line through the middle. On hard courts, one can use chalk or white athletic/trainers' tape to mark off the middle line. MORE-> |

| Testimonials |
| "The
one-on one doubles tour would be a shot in the arm for professional
tennis. I've played it and had a blast as a player, and watched it
and enjoyed it as a spectator. It would add another dimension to the
game that would add fun, excitement, and personality. It would help
chip away the belief that tennis is a 'country club' and 'stuffy'
sport, simply by the coolness of the game and also with the music
added! Who wouldn't want to watch quick, exciting, high-quality tennis;
listen to music; eat good food; and have a beer or two? One-On-One
Doubles is a genius innovation and the players, spectators, and the
game itself would be better for it." -Dave Martin, ATP Doubles Champion at the SAP Open, San Jose, 2/08 |
| "One-on-One
Doubles is the game our nation's youth needs to play. It develops
the many abandoned fundamentals that are critical to getting players
to the top levels of the game." -Chuck Kriese, Head Men's Tennis Coach, Clemson University (USPTA and ITA National Coach-of-the-Year Award Winner) |
| "The
skills involved in One-on-One Doubles are critical to the development
of today's top players. Just as importantly, they are fun to execute
by players at any level." -Dick Gould, Tennis Director, Stanford University & ITA Coach of the Decade 1980s & 1990s |
| "One-on-One
Doubles is a fun, fast-action game that is totally different than
playing singles. Playing this game makes you a better, well-rounded
player." -Ken Flach, Former #3 ATP Tour Doubles Player MORE-> |
