Lucas Herrera amazes at Les Petit As with his backhand tennis
A few years ago, the name Lucas Herrera Sánchez appeared in the limelight, a German boy with a Chilean father and Argentine mother who played with two right-hand strokes and showed tremendous skill for it. He has been evolving and at 13 years old, he still maintains that uniqueness. So much so, that he is in the semifinals of the prestigious Les Petit As tournament in the under-14 category, astonishing everyone with his tennis devoid of a backhand, hitting the ball with both forehand sides.
The ambidextrous Lucas Herrera Sánchez (2011) is in the Les Petits As semifinals.
On his path - starting from the qualifiers - he defeated the top favorite Rafa Pagonis (#1 in Europe) and Evan Giurescu, one of the greatest promises of French tennis.
