Tennis career

Nalbandian began playing tennis at age five when his grandfather built a cement court in his backyard, that's why he particularly likes fast surfaces, unlike other Argentinian players, who prefer clay courts. Once in a TV show, when asked about his success at Wimbledon 2002, he joked and "explained" his run-up had been due to grass growing on the court his grandfather had once built. As a junior player, he won the 1998 Junior US Open singles against Roger Federer and the 1999 Junior Wimbledon doubles titles.

Playing Style

Nalbandian employs a very aggressive baseline game, although he is capable of playing an all-court style. His main strengths lie in his groundstrokes and return game, and are complemented by his deft accuracy and incredible foot speed. His groundstrokes are technically sound and solid from both wings, and because of their depth, pace, and consistency, opponents often have difficulty breaking down one particular side. Nalbandian's trademark shot is his two-handed backhand down the line, which he often uses to set up point, by either hitting a clean winner, or forcing a weak return from the opponent. Nalbandian is also a sound volleyer, and if a situation calls for more aggressive play, he is often willing to finish points at the net. Nalbandian's serve is not one of his strengths, however it is reliable, accurate and efficient.
