Right-side players need to play very measured and tactically, focusing on precision and minimizing errors, similar to a chess player. Left-side players have more freedom to use their physicality and can be more dynamic in solving on-court situations.
This lesson from Sanyo is very useful if you are trying to understand the different roles on court depending on if you are a right or left-side player, especially if you play with another right-handed player. Sanyo explains that as a right-side player you need to be very measured and tactical, almost like a chess player. You will learn why the left-side player often seems to move more freely and can solve more situations using their physicality. It highlights the importance of tactical awareness for right-side players to maximise their partnership.
