#2 Fabrice Santoro is also referred to as the Magician
Santoro, who holds the world record for most Grand Slam appearances – 70 – is also referred to as ‘The Magician’ for his unreal skills with the racquet. Marat Safin has repeatedly spoken about how hard it is to face the Frenchman, who is also doubling up as coach of the Aces for IPTL.
Santoro got his nickname thanks to his incredible trick shots that seem inconceivable to others. He is one of the few players who is right-handed but can pull off incredible left-handed shots, not to mention the strong double-handed forehand and backhand he possesses.
