Wii Sports: Tennis. Am I the best I can be?

I have been playing Wii Tennis with my room mate. We are both around ~1200 rating. We keep facing 2000/1900 teams (computer controlled) and our ratings are not going up at all. But if we LOSE a singles match, we go up by 70 points.
This system is better when playing with others, but I can't improve my ratings if I play with someone? Ideas? Questions? Comments?

I'm not sure how it calculates point increases in singles vs. doubles; I think it's directly tied to the specific player's performance. I think that when you play doubles, because you're hitting fewer winning shots, your ranking doesn't go up as high.
Thanks!
What do I have to bowl to keep my rating going higher?
And is there a way to play against a CPU in bowling?
I WILL NOT BE DOING 3DS FOR NWC THREAD. SOMEONE ELSE WILL HAVE TO TAKE OVER.

I'm sure that you can't earn points in Tennis when playing with another person, whether they're on your team or not.

Like, I'll be wanting to hit to the left so it bounces way past the area they can hit it, but I always hit it back into the area where they already are. It's very annoying.

It's all about timing. Assuming you're a righty, if you hit the ball early it goes to the left, and if you hit it late it goes to the right. It's just like baseball. Reverse if you're a lefty.
Use the guy up front most of the time. If they keep hitting it so that you have to back-hand it, give them a really really light lob. Both characters will go after it, and they'll probably botch the return a little. If you're quick enough, you'll have a chance to hit it where they're not.
Also, if your front guy can't get it, always wait for the bounce. Nothing sucks worse than losing out on a point because you returned an out-of-bounds ball.
My friends still believe the higher your skill level the better your character will play despite me telling that is not the case several times.

if you see that your opponent's front player might have a chance to hit it... start swinging and don't stop. It's very easy to beat them if you can return everything with your front man. I only use the backman to set up my frontman for the winner if it's taking too long.

140-170 is definately not enought to stay at Pro Level. To stay above 1000 you need to get a score of around 180 constantly.
If you're at 1000 right now, a score of 170 will make you drop. A score of 190 will gain you points...

And yeah, it's all about the front man. I tend to bury their back guy in one corner then slam it to the other. One quick way to do it is bury them all the way to the right (You're right, not theirs) and when they hit back swing WAY early and you will hit it almost parallel to the left and they can't get it. Cheap as hell but works.
