Sandon STOLLE

 

 

Sandon is not a real successful player, but he has a very easy going personality, the best character in the game. He can play very well, however, he can be distracted by the pathetic gamesmanship from other players. His concentration is not the best.

Sandon Stolle is probably more famous for being the son of Fred Stolle, the former great of the mid century. Unfortunately, Sandon does not perform as well as he could. gi Bruguera boycotts Wimbledon because his game is very rigid. He can volley well, however his backswings are too long. The grass surface is not kind to players with big backswings.
