Now he is known for his ambidextrous style, which allows him to play without a backhand. He manages to hit the ball with his forehand and drives every shot the same way because he is very quick at juggling the racquet in his hands.

Teodor’s father talks about the form he has in court

In one of the interviews, Teodor’s father, Kalin Davidov, talked about the viral video of his playing style on the court. He said, “When Teo was about to turn eight, I decided to have him start playing left-handed to affect the right hemisphere of his brain. He is too extroverted, fiery, and a bit unbalanced, so I only wanted to affect the right hemisphere of his brain, using the left side of his body. The balance between the left and right hemisphere is crucial.

It seems like his father knew from the start the kind of skill he had due to which he was able to train his son in the right way. Isn’t this amazing? What do you think?
