Over the years, this made him a crowd favorite. He was nicknamed by Pete Sampras as “The Magician.” Throughout his career, Santoro used racquets that were all the same weight. Thus he has a two-handed hold for both forehands and backhands. He said that he couldn’t hold the racquet in one hand when he was six years old and started playing. As a singles player, the 2006 Australian Open was Santoro’s only Grand Slam quarterfinal appearance.
