Doubles Strategy & Lob Wars

Season 2, Ep. 31

Tony fancies himself a good doubles strategist (that's debatable), so he asked one of the smartest tennis voices, Will Boucek, to join us and talk doubles strategy. 


Will is the creator of thetennistribe.com and doubles strategist to the pros. Join us as he answers Tony’s basic doubles questions and even humors us for a round of “gay doubles questions”. Will also runs a a newsletter and podcast from his website, so follow along to improve your doubles game!


We talk:


  • Will’s role in helping team USA at the Olympics
  • Why pro doubles is underrated
  • Doubles strategy for locals like Tony
  • Who gay fans should watch (and why!)
  • How to beat Sara Errani in doubles
