Where should I go when my partner gets lobbed?

By Jeff Cooper, About.com

Question: Where should I go when my partner gets lobbed?
Answer: When your partner chases a lob into the backcourt, you should get as far back as you can, on the side (left or right) your partner isn't on, before the opponents' next shot. If you can get back behind your baseline, do so, because your partner will have to make an excellent shot to keep your opponents from hitting an aggressive reply.
