Re: 4 double faults in a row to lose game?
Oh my days, recently I have been serving well until I made this thread.  I hit 4 in one game today.... 3 of those were in a row.

Re: 4 double faults in a row to lose game?
hmm...I don´t know if it was in a row but I posted here once...I was leading 4:0 40:0 but then DFted 4 times to lose this game and finally I lost this match 4:6, 0:6...but I don´t think it was 4 DF´s in a row.

I have a similar experience.
My high school teammate and I were playing double in our state tennis competition and he double faulted five times in a row from 40-0 up to lose the game. He smashed his racket enough for the both of us after that.

Re: 4 double faults in a row to lose game?
The question is, did you win the match?

Done it. On more than one occasion I'm afraid.
I played a tournament this weekend and it was SO windy and my toss is steffi-graf high so the wind would take it everywhere. Not to mention I had run a 3 mile competition about 5 hrs before so my legs were really shaky.
I broke my opponent's serve and then gifted him the return break by hitting 4 dfs in a row.
I'm so over tennis.

You played a practice match where you did all the serving?

Re: 4 double faults in a row to lose game?
Nope, but i've done something almost as bad. I hit 3 DFs in a row and then had a 2nd serve where i decided to hit a total floater (so i wouldn't DF the game away  ) . To make a long story short, i fought back to deuce only to still lose the game  . I think it would have been allot easier to swallow if i'd just DF'd the whole game away  .

I manage to string up 8-10 dfs while I was servin. If not I hit Ues, the opponent a beginner was very nice he hitted moonballs , we could moonball for 5 -7 minutes than hit a error by me most of the time The match lasted 3 hours + . I had only 5 gp I df 4 and hitted the other one to the other court
It's fun when your a beginner

Wow, five in a row. Well done for not taking his racket and smashing it over his head.
