Canadian doubles, similar to cutthroat tennis, is a method of playing
tennis
Tennis is a racket sport that is played either individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball cov ...
with three players. It pits two players against one player on the court at the same time. The only major rule variation between Canadian doubles and traditional
doubles tennis is that the team of two players can only hit the ball within the single player's singles lines, whilst the single player can hit into the full doubles court on the two player's side. Canadian doubles is used as a training method, to work on shot-making, accuracy and
teamwork.
