EMILIO SANCHEZ
Champion player (best ranking n. 7 ATP in singles and n. 1 in doubles) and champion coach. His Barcelona Academy has been taken as an example all over the world and it was on those fields that a certain Andy Murray was formed. Today the Academy Emilio Sanchez has also landed in the States (in Florida in Naples and Atlanta) and even in Eastern China, Nanjing, and Dubai.
IVAN LJUBICIC
Incredible player (he reached the third place in the world and won Indian Wells 2010 by beating Djokovic, Nadal and Roddick in the tournament), Ljubicic reached the maximum even as a coach. Friend Roger thinks of him to win again and it’s good. With Ljubo in his corner, King Federer cashes 3 Slams and becomes the oldest ATP number 1 ever. Today he’s also the manager of Matteo Berrettini and in summer 2021 he inaugurated his academy on the Croatian island of Lussino.
OMAR CAMPORESE
The man who excelled in Davis because, when there was the “Azzurro” to defend, he gave everything, always. Omar Camporese, born in Bologna in 1968, was undoubtedly one of the best Italian tennis players since Panatta.
