Is this what the future of tennis looks like? On Sunday, Zootennis shared a viral footage of super-talented Teodor Davidov hitting forehands with both his right and left hands while competing in the under-12s division of the EasterBowl.

“To have two forehands and to hit them both this well is amazing,” tweeted Blair Henley. “To be a true switch hitter on the *serve is next level. He’s in the 12s?!”

Former Australian Open semifinalist Paul McNamee commented: “Two… King ‘a la Rafa’ forehands … lethal.”

Even more impressive, the youngster has two backhands, and serves with both hands as well.

“Yes, he has two forehands, but he has two backhands as well,” tweeted tennis coach Kyle LaCroix, calling Davidov a “Swiss army knife.”

Andre Agassi’s former coach and ESPN commentator Brad Gilbert responded: “Definitely brings huge tool kit to the courts and so impressive serves with both arms.”
