depends on the serve if you follow a weak serve you will be slaughtered.If you serve is good and draws a weak return your partner will kill it.there are so many views on how to play tennis you must study different players and see what you feel you can do best.some doubles teams play from baseline some both strive to get to net some play one up one back,you got to work it out in your own head also your partner must know what way you play.
