If you don't know Marcelo Arevalo, he's one of the kindest players on tour. I met him at Indian Wells 2022 before his

Every time I've seen him since, he's been so positive and generous with time. A doubles personality we should all strive
Today, I was walking into the doctors office behind a slow man with a walker. It crossed my mind to get frustrated, go around him, & cut him off l. I chose to be patient.
15 minutes later, he died in my arms in the parking lot.

Doubles doesn't have a product problem. It has a marketing problem... getting rid of it is not the solution.
Marketing doubles and doubles players the right way is.

Every time Hsieh touches the ball in a defensive position, she hits to the opponent furthest away from her. This buys time for her and Mertens to recover.

How do you use hand signals in doubles? The serve team can use hand signals to run plays that set up the server's partner at the net & get free points by forcing missed returns.
Be sure to mix it up so you get in the returner's head and frustrate them 🎾 🤬
This is the fault of everyone who bashed Fort Worth. It was a great venue 👌
Lack of attendance was just lack of time & marketing. And attendance was better than Cancun fyi.
