Singles or Doubles ?

The cache is not not at the posted coordinates. You’ll have to figure out the puzzle to find it.

I’ve never played tennis. After some research, I think I’d prefer doubles. At least then I’d have someone to share the blame with. Or learn from. In any case, some of my notes are below. Do you know where I could find a partner?

The most obvious difference between a singles game and a d0ubles game is the number of players. What may not be so obvious is that the dimensions of the court change as well. A doubles court makes use of the three-foot “alleys” 0n either side of the court; these areas are considered 0ut of b0unds during a singles match.

The strategies used in singles and doubles often differ as well. Take, for example, the tactic of serving wide, which seeks to score a point off the opponent by first dragging them off the court in one direction and then hitting the opposite way into the open court. In singles, servers using this tactic must balance the angle of their serve with how comfortable they feel guarding against an up-the-line return, whereas in doubles, the line is guarded by the server’s partner, allowing the server to attack extreme angles on the wide serve without worry
