Real Tennis Players - Like You! - Asking For, And Offering, Advice On The Sport They Love

USTA.com's regular feature is a forum where everyday tennis players like you can ask advice on the sport they love – and their fellow players will dish out advice. Looking for advice on how to talk to a doubles partner who isn’t communicating effectively on the court anymore? Have ankle problems and would like to know what types of court shoes other folks have had success with? “Player To Player” can help you out!

Periodically, we post a number of the best responses we receive to our question of the week. Submit questions you'd like fellow players to answer, as well as responses to others' questions to Player@USTA.com. Please include your name, city and state.

Below you can find answers to past questions by subject matter. Check back often for solutions to all your tennis-related issues.
