What is "mixed doubles"?
Mixed doubles is a type of team event in sports like tennis or badminton, where each team is made up of one male and one female player. The pair competes together against another team, which also consists of one male and one female player. In mixed doubles, the male and female players typically have different roles on the court, and the game requires teamwork, strategy, and coordination between the players. It adds an extra layer of diversity and challenge to the competition compared to single-gender doubles events.
Examples
Mixed doubles require good coordination between partners.
