At our tennis club we've used One-on-One Doubles to try and improve our approach to the net and our net game. It's a lot of fun and I think it does help. If you don't understand the rules of one on one doubles it's pretty simple; you serve the same depending on whether you are serving from the deuce court or from the ad court as you would in regular doubles [make sure you serve like you would in doubles and not stand towards the center of the court as you would in singles; or you'll find you are already out of position]. You will play anything from the center of the service box line over to the doubles line [pretending that you and your opponents doubles partners are so good you can never use the other half of the court]. If you hit the ball to the side of the court your opponent is not playing then the point goes to your opponent. The same is true if your opponent hits to the side you're not playing.
Here's a video on how popular the sport is becoming, and if my instructions are a little confusing the video will probably clear that up.
