This is how Leonardo Ljubicic plays, who does he remind you of?

Perhaps everything is already said with the surname, but nothing compares to the feeling of watching him play. This is how Leonardo Ljubicic presents himself on a tennis court, at just 16 years old but already with a one-handed backhand that clearly resembles his father, Ivan Ljubicic. Under the Croatian flag - although it was not always the case - this young man just competed in the junior tournament final in Luxembourg this week, confirming his goal of reaching professionalism, or at least attempting it. In the video, we can see Ivan always by his side, advising him on what to do on the court. Do we bet on seeing him on the circuit within the next five seasons?

Swiss talent "sponsored" by Federer takes down the world junior number 1 at the 2025 Australian Open

Chilling sensations of power and budding stardom have been emanating for some time now from 17-year-old Swiss player, Henry Bernet, recently signed by On, the clothing brand co-founded by Roger Federer, which shares many similarities with him, like an aesthetic one-handed backhand and the tennis club to which he belongs, the legendary Old Boys of Basel. Bernet has managed to defeat the world's number 1 junior player and top favorite to win the 2025 Australian Open in that category, Jan Kumstat, by 7-6 (4) 7-6 (2), in what many have seen as the anticipated final of the tournament. He will now face 17-year-old Finnish player Oskari Paldanius, currently ranked number 10 in the junior circuit.

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.

He accomplished this feat in Zug, defeating Juan Pablo Varillas and displaying his quality. Currently ranked 25th in the junior circuit, he showcased his talent at Roland Garros a few months ago, reaching the quarterfinals. We must closely follow his promising progression.
