Ambidextrous Teen Delights At The U.S. Open
The 16-year-old can serve left or right, and mixes it up as much as possible. He does not even bother with a backhand, joining a very rare few ambidextrous players to chase a career in competitive tennis.
New York, September 7 - Ambidextrous American teen tennis player Teodor Davidov made his debut at the U.S. Open this week and is making the most of his unique ability, aiming to confuse his opponents in the juniors division. The 16-year-old can serve with both hands, and frequently changes between them to gain an advantage. He has not even bothered to develop a backhand, joining an elite group of ambidextrous players who pursue a career in competitive tennis.
"It gives me a lot more reach and I can get to more balls, more court coverage, as well as different spins," Davidov told Reuters. His left-and-right serves have already attracted some attention on the tournament’s social media channels.
