Video: Meet Teodor Davidov, player with two forehands who wants to be new Rafael Nadal

The Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego hosts the Easter Bowl, one of the most prestigious tournaments in the United States for the upcoming juniors.

Instead of hitting a backhand, Teodor hits a forehand from both hands, switching hands during the point and using a more powerful stroke from both wings!

Davidov reached the Easter Bowl quarter-final, beating Ross Johnson, Jordan Lee and Liam Alvarez before falling to Jack Kennedy in the match tie break. Davidov said that Rafael Nadal is his idol and wants to become a professional one day, aware of how hard he has to work to achieve that.

"I don't want to become very popular right away. I want to become a professional. For that, I have to work, work and work again. Training is important, not being popular. My two forehands?
