Are you playing doubles in your most comfortable position — or are you just following tradition? In this video, I break down one of the most creative doubles formations I've seen on the WTA Tour, used by Jasmine Paolini and Sarah Errani in a recent match. Instead of sticking to the standard serving formation, they flipped the script entirely — and it worked. I'll walk you through: ✅ Why the traditional doubles formation doesn't always suit your strengths ✅ What Paolini and Errani did differently (and why it was genius) ✅ How alternative formations like the I-formation and Australian formation can disrupt your opponents ✅ My exclusive interview with Jasmine herself, where she explains exactly how and why they came up with it on the spot in Madrid (a big thanks to ASICS for making this happen!) The key takeaway? There are no rules about where you have to stand. The best doubles teams put themselves in the best position to play their strongest shots, and make life as uncomfortable as possible for the opposition. Whether you're a club player or a competitive doubles team, this video will change the way you think about how you set up every single point. 🎾 Enjoyed this?
