doubles partner
Shared court teammate
A doubles partner is the person paired with you in a two-on-two game, especially in tennis, badminton, or similar racket sports.
The term extends to any teammate in a paired competition: She and her doubles partner have won three tournaments together.
A good doubles partner complements your strengths and covers your weaknesses.
