Horacio Zeballos and Marcel Granollers are one of the most accomplished doubles pairings of the last five years on the ATP Tour. I spoke with them in Miami after their second-round win. We discussed their 7-5 6-3 win which Horacio said was one of their "best matches this year." They faced two players whom they've faced many times, Mate Pavić and Marcelo Arévalo. We talk about how they handle facing players who they know so well and who know them, as well as the windy conditions. I also asked them if they believe their consistent partnership helps early in the season when other teams are often new. At the end, Horacio and Marcel open up about what changes might help doubles become more popular. ----- **Join the #1 Doubles Strategy Newsletter for Club Tennis Players** https://www.thetennistribe.com/join-the-tribe/ **Doubles Strategy Courses** These video courses will help you play smarter doubles and make winning easier. https://the-tennis-tribe.teachable.com/p/net-play-strategy-for-doubles https://the-tennis-tribe.teachable.com/p/25-winning-doubles-tacticshttps://the-tennis-tribe.teachable.com/p/league-doubles-training **Doubles Ebooks** These guides offer proven advice to improve your doubles strategy. https://www.thetennistribe.com/25-winning-doubles-tactics/https://www.thetennistribe.com/return-strategy-for-doubles-ebook/https://www.thetennistribe.com/serve-strategy-for-doubles-ebook/https://www.thetennistribe.com/net-play-strategy-for-doubles-ebook/

Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram are 3-time reigning US Open Champions. I spoke with them in Miami after their second round 7-5 7-6 victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas and Thanassi Kokkinakis. Adam Ross from Florida Tennis joined me for this interview. We asked the US Open champs about the match, including a specific tactic they kept going to that I picked up on. They talked about team chemistry and if they think it helps them early in the season, and how to play doubles vs singles players. You'll hear Adam ask them about training for no-ad or pressure points and what club players can learn by watching the pros. Rajeev's answer to this has nothing to do with tennis and is something all doubles players should hear. Joe also shares his thoughts on what doubles needs to become more popular. https://floridatennis.com/blogs/news/talking-with-doubles-expert-will-boucekhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc5Z9qx8VGW-I5C4xHaaeEjpYuoRG-aV0FubWKPcS2Mv4K5Mw/viewform?usp=sf_link ----- **Join the #1 Doubles Strategy Newsletter for Club Tennis Players** https://www.thetennistribe.com/join-the-tribe/ **Doubles Strategy Courses** These video courses will help you play smarter doubles and make winning easier. https://the-tennis-tribe.teachable.com/p/net-play-strategy-for-doubles https://the-tennis-tribe.teachable.com/p/25-winning-doubles-tacticshttps://the-tennis-tribe.teachable.com/p/league-doubles-training **Doubles Ebooks** These guides offer proven advice to improve your doubles strategy. https://www.thetennistribe.com/25-winning-doubles-tactics/https://www.thetennistribe.com/return-strategy-for-doubles-ebook/https://www.thetennistribe.com/serve-strategy-for-doubles-ebook/https://www.thetennistribe.com/net-play-strategy-for-doubles-ebook/

This conversation with Australian Open Champion, Matt Ebden, focuses on the state of professional doubles and where it might go over the next several years.

Tennis Tribe writer, Hanlon Walsh, and I spoke with her at the ATX Open where she partnered with Yanina Wickmayer during her off day. This is a short conversation where we ask about her win vs Sloane Stephens & Peyton Stearns, 4-6 6-2 10-2. Tereza played a near-perfect tiebreaker and was super active at the net. We discussed the match up against two "singles players" and how it differs from playing doubles players. We also discussed how she spent her days off in Austin, why she practiced twice on Friday in preparation for her semifinal match on Saturday, her goals for the year, and her favorite hobby (visiting rabbit farms).
