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.”
