The only tennis podcast with a focus on doubles.
We believe doubles should be more popular and get more coverage than it does, so we’re fixing that.
Our goal is to help you become a better player with pro doubles tips and expert strategy.
We interview ATP & WTA tour doubles players and top tennis coaches to help you improve your game.
Karen and I are 4.0 doubles players from Los Angeles. Last year we were happy to find Will’s “Doubles Only” podcast just as it began airing. We listened to the first episode and were hooked (and we haven’t missed many since).
The podcast addresses issues that come up every time we play. In almost every episode there are useful tips that apply to our own doubles game
