@simon44 you are right simon44. It's true for the un seasoned players. But in doubles, the elite players will learn and be able to hit the low half volley when they come up to the service line. This step is not to win the point but to return the ball deep or cover the lob like a stepping stone to continue to come in to hit a smash or volley to end the point. This is only for advanced level play

Jason again you hit it bang on. A lot of players are too aggressive and come up too fast and get lobbed and can not get back. I come in to around the service line most times to prepare if they hit a lob. That way I can still hit an overhead or smash if they lob without running back. If not, I can continue to come in to hit volley and be aggressive and apply pressure. You are a great coach.  These points are so practical

Your not suppose to be in the middle of the court ever! Its a cardinal rule of tennis. Its also known as dead mans land. The best strategy is to have the player at the back get the lob back and simply have the service box player move to the other side to cover. This way each side is always covered and lobs are easily returned.
