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?

Coached by his father Ivan, this is how Leonardo Ljubicic plays (2008). This weekend, he reached his first ITF Junior final in Luxembourg. One-handed backhand, of course.
