“I was able to train with him and nobody hits the ball like Nadal”

Marc Polmans is one of the latest Australian talents in the world of tennis. At 23 years old, the young tennis player, who occupies position 124 in the ATP ranking, has shone in major tournaments in this atypical 2020, since made it to the second round at the Australian Open and Roland Garros.

Polmans gave an interview to Tennis Australia, the leading Australian tennis institution, in which he reviews his beginnings in tennis, which tennis players inspired him and also who would be his ideal partner in doubles. “I would love to play doubles with Rafa Nadal. It would be great to hear his tactical point of view on the game. I'm sure he would have good ideas. Just sharing the court with Rafa would be special. I have never played in a tournament against him, but I have been able to train with him during the Australian Open. To be in a competitive game with him on the court would be incredible. “

The Australian also confessed that he has learned a lot training alongside Nadal at the last Australian Open and highlighted the skills of the Spanish tennis player. “It really is great to train with Nadal. I have trained with him three or four times. and I have also been fortunate to train with him when he is preparing for a match, so we have played for up to two hours. None of the players I've faced hits the ball like he does. His right is spectacular. Having his coaches on the court and hearing about his game is just amazing. “

Polmans also confessed that, if he could, he would also steal a hit from his compatriot Nick Kyrgios. “I would take Kyrgios 'serve. I think if I had Kyrgios' serve, tennis would be easier for me. He has the best serve in the world. He is accurate, fast and his spin is incredible. It is something natural in him, which makes him more incredible. I think Kyrgios' serve is something we all want to have. “
