Re(1): #19: Backcourt/frontcourt in doubles - what counts?

Posted on December 21, 2003 at 04:41:59 PM by Emphyrio

Do you rely on the frontcourter to determine the outcome?

I rely on the TEAM to determine the outcome. Natch, there's always situations where the front is so superior to the back as to be obvious but the opposite is also true.

Are some fronts/backs just bad doubles players?

Yeah, but they're bad singles players too.

Are there certain pairs that just can't do it?

Yup. Either they don't get along or they don't communicate. Or their styles are just plain at odds.

Do some backs take control, to the detriment of the team?

Yes. And some to the betterment of the team.

Who are the great doubles players? Why?

I just don't know enough to put forth an intelligent answer to this one.
