Maria Sharapova, Venus Williams among stars who honor science achievement at Breakthrough Prize Ceremony

Doubles legend Rennae Stubbs shares a tactic that will surely catch your opponent off guard. The mantra in doubles is to always hit away from the player at the net, but the former world No. 1 breaks that convention with a bold suggestion.

“One of my favorite returns of serves is actually ripping the return at the net player,” Stubbs says.

Stubbs, the current coach of big hitter Karolina Pliskova, explains all the benefits of taking the return straight to your opponent at the net.
