| How the game is played |
| One-on-One
Doubles® Tennis 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® Tennis, the half-court, serve-and-volley Singles game played on the Doubles court, is a match between 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 tennis 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 Tennis 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 Tennis 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 Tennis 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 Tennis 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-> |

Jared Palmer made a triumphant return to competitive Tennis at the
inaugural One-On-One Doubles Championship held on Saturday night,
Jan. 30th at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Palmer, who won the Wimbledon Doubles Title in 2001 with Don Johnson, showcased his brilliant serve-and-volley game and his wide array of shotmaking on his way to the title. Jared won four rounds to capture the tournament, as he defeated Jaymon Crabb, ranked as high as #181 on the ATP Tour, 6-5 in the Semifinals. Palmer came back from 3-0 down, against Crabb, to win a thrilling set. In
the finals, Palmer defeated Keith Kessler, former Florida Tech
star, 6-3. Back in his Ivy League home, Coach Jay Harris was still buzzing with excitement. "This is such an amazing concept! I just competed in the electrifying One-On-One Doubles tournament at the USTA National Tennis Center and I am still fired up about it! The event had everything from incredibly intense competition to a "party all night long" atmosphere with a great band and fantastic food and drinks for the fans and competitors. The new game is really picking up momentum and we are very excited to be bringing it to Brown University this Fall for a nationally televised One-On-One Doubles event. This event will come in and rock the Northeast!" stated Jay Harris. Both
Palmer and Harris won the $1000 grand prize for winning their
divisions. Bryanne
