In doubles, court position, anticipation, and shot selection are more important than speed, power, and endurance. Players begin to enjoy doubles and get better at it long after they’ve achieved success in singles. In some cases, they become better at doubles than at singles, and they can compete at a high level as they get older.
Older players especially enjoy doubles because it’s less demanding physically and more demanding mentally. Singles and doubles are both fun to play, but some players prefer individual sports, whereas others like the team aspect. Tennis gives you the opportunity to play both an individual and a team sport.
