Furthermore, what is the best formation in doubles tennis? The standard formation in doubles is one person at the net, and one person back for both teams. This is the most common, and is the best option in most cases. The net players are crosscourt from each other. This allows the baseliners to hit deep, more consistent groundstrokes crosscourt.
