Ep. 229 - Are Double Faults a Purely Technical Issue?

Tennis IQ Podcast

In this episode, Brian and Josh discuss whether double faulting is solely a technical issue, a mental issue, or a combination of the two. Recently Coco Gauff decided to start working with biomechanical expert Gavin MacMillan to help her overcome her increase in double faults. The co-hosts discuss the Gauff's coaching change, review the causes of double faults, and offer suggestions for how tennis players can approach their first serves and second serves in more effective ways.
