Mixed doubles in tennis is a format where teams consist of one male and one female player. This format is played in various tournaments, including the Grand Slam events, and follows the same basic rules as regular doubles, with each team aiming to win points by hitting the ball over the net and into the opponent's court. In mixed doubles, players often need to adapt their strategies to complement their partner's strengths and weaknesses. Communication and teamwork are essential, as players must coordinate their movements and shots to effectively challenge their opponents and secure victories.
