One-0n-One Doubles Tennis is a half-court, serve-and-volley singles competition
played on a doubles court. One-on-One Doubles Tennis can be played in both
tournament and league format.
The half-court, serve-and-volley singles game played on the doubles court, known as One-on-One Doubles Tennis, is strictly a crosscourt competition with new game dimensions. 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. |
