"Manolo was a magician on clay, he could hit the most incredible angles and drive you crazy with topspin lobs or dropshots. And he improved his volleying so that he was dangerous on grass too."
The words of Rod Laver perhaps best define the magnificent playing skills of Spain's Manolo Santana! His career wins easily show how he dominated European Tennis in the 1960's and speak for themselves.
