Doubles Formation

A doubles formation in beach tennis refers to the positioning and serve-receive arrangement of the two-player team. Per ITF Beach Tennis Rules, in doubles each player on a team serves for an entire game in turn; the serving order within the team is chosen at the start of each set and must be maintained. The receiving order is also set at the start of each set. Players may stand anywhere on their half of the court during play, and there are no positional requirements after the serve.
