128th in the world at the age of 18, the Italian Lorenzo Musetti is undoubtedly one of the revelations of this 2020 season with his compatriot Jannik Sinner. Hardened Earthman, he paid back to back the scalp of Kei Nishikori and that of Stan Wawrinka last September, on the Masters 1000 in Rome. Her trainer for 10 years, Simone Tartarini, spoke to our colleagues from Ubitennis on the backhand technique of her foal.
“At the age of eight, Lorenzo was already playing a one-handed backhand. He had a lot of dexterity but little energy, unlike children who play one-handed backhand. So he only used the back and therefore almost never took advantage of the diagonal, limiting himself to the line. We had to change the grip and the opening of the shot. “
