Share your advice with Zach:
In a recent USTA match, my doubles partner and I played a pair who I felt displayed unsportsmanlike conduct. During the warm-ups, they refused to move and wouldn’t hit balls back that were easily within reach had they taken 1-2 steps, so we had very few warm-up rallies. Then when the match started, they began running everything down. They made several wrong line calls that were clearly good, and then when we served to stay in the match at 3-5 in the second set, they both decided to take a 2-minute water break, even though it wasn’t a changeover. We have to play their team again later this summer, so any advice as to what we should do if we find ourselves in this situation again?
