I chat with the coach of the top doubles team in the world, Dave O’Hare. This was recorded from our hotel lobby in Montreal at the Canadian Open. Dave has been a player and coach and currently works with Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury.
Dave recently went on a Functional Tennis podcast (linked below) and had a great conversation that we build on here.
In this conversation we talk about:
- The difference between being offensive and aggressive.
- Where to aim volleys and how to think about tiebreaks.
- How to plan for big matches and adapt during a match.
- What some of the best doubles players in the world do well.
Dave O’Hare is the coach of the top doubles team in the world, Joe Salisbury & Rajeev Ram.
We also discuss how Dave got into tennis, what inspired his career path, and how he thinks we can make doubles more popular.
