We have focused on the use of basic tactical variants of the serving team in tennis doubles - classical formation, Australian formation and "I-formation". We compared the number of these variants between the adults and juniors category. Next, we watched the composition and the number of strokes in men's and women's doubles. The doubles matches (N=40) from important national and international tournaments were videotaped. Results showed different use of tactical variants between the adults and juniors category and even between men and women. The number and the composition of particular strokes in men's and women's doubles are different and that is showing the doubles evolution from the last century and also is showing difference between the men's and women's doubles.

Keywords: tennis; doubles; tactical variants; adults; juniors
