    I am very excited by what Teo has accomplished. I started teaching myself to have two forehands when I was 60 just because of the challenge and in case I got injured. 10 years later and I am convinced that it can be done at all levels. It has to be taught at a young age if a player really wants to be competitive just because the older you get the harder it is to learn a non dominant hand skill. I have heard all the skepticism. The claim that it takes too long to switch hands doesn’t make sense to me. I know the ball is coming really fast, but if you have time to run, take an extra step, rotate your body so your back is facing the net, wrap your hand with the racquet all the way around behind you and still have time to swing and hit the ball I am quite sure that somewhere in all of that there can be an easy transfer of the racquet. Having two forehands means you don’t have to turn your back on the net. You can get to way more balls with greater reach. Don’t switch hands at net. Definitely not enough time. I plan on trying to convince my HS team to try it, but the older kids are reluctant to go through the pain of learning something so drastic. Another thought is that it is always a good thing to use both sides of the brain and tennis can be played for many decades at all levels with great enjoyment.

    This kid sure have great talent at a young age of 12 but there are multiple factors that kinda made me uncertain about that training routine. One of which is the weights training, I personally would not want a 12 year old to do weight training. And to add on with the constant stress that the kid have to face cus of their parents and frame, it would put too much pressure on that kid. I wish him all the best tho in achieving his dream

    The kids is good, but as a tennis mom myself at 12 it is too early to know if he will be ATP. I say this because something worries me in this film. I also have a 12 year old who does condition training. However, the orthopedist and the physio said NO weight training until he is 15 or 16...it is dangerous and alters their natural growth pattern. No 12 year old should be lifting that kind of weight. He should be doing body weight exercises, bands, and coordination and balance exercises. My 12 year old is also double this kids size...the average height for an ATP player is 6 ft. 2...exactly the predicted height of my kid. However, my kid will finish school, maybe play college tennis...up to him. This video worries me.

    He shouldn't be ambidextrous; he should do one handed backhand for matches but keep practicing left-handed a bit in-case of an injury on right hand. But because he is naturally right-handed, he should play a one handed backhand. One handed would work because of his strong arms.

    As coach who has coached players from over the top 500, im gonna keep it real, he is too short to be a pro. I would say a good height to be at 12 is a minimum of 5'4. But that kid looks like hes less than 5 feet tall. height isn't a big factor in tennis however it is an issue if you are less that 5'10 and the height that this kid is right now, hes gonna grow up to be 5'6, 5'7. which realistically is a massive disadvantage as a pro, lets also remember that this generation is even taller, than the previous one and the current generation of tennis players is over 6 feet tall. So will he win the US Open? No. He probably won't even be a pro. But prove me wrong kiddo
