Fabrice Santoro was adorable for the public due to his perfect and puzzled shots. He always plays the tennis with the new and unbelievable tough shots in such a way that he gained the title of The Magician. Santoro use to play tennis with both hands on forehand and backhand though he is a right handed player, he plays the shots of forehand with the left hand. Ha had an interest in tennis from the age of six. He defeated many worlds' top class players like Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras but he made his record by playing against Marat Safin.

Fabrice Santoro will be playing alongside Nenad Zimonjic at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, but then he will be left to find a new partner. The Serbian announced in Rome that he would be joining forces with another doubles specialist, Daniel Nestor. Mark Knowles is another loser in this rearrangement as he and Nestor currently lie 4th in the ATP Doubles Race. "Daniel has dropped me," confirmed a visibly disappointed Knowles.

Since he was very young, Fabrice Santoro has always played with the same weight of racket. He obviously found the oversized rackets he used heavy and as a result had to utilise a double handed grip on both sides. A semi western grip is the usual position for his forehand. When he changes that to a Continental grip, the sliced forehand became inevitable. It is so unusual, many players have difficulty adjusting when facing him. It ... gives Santoro extra time to get into the optimum court position for the next shot.

Santoro plays with two-hands on forehand and backhand, and though he is right-handed, often slices his forehand with the left hand. He attributes this to his having used racquets of the same weight through out his career, which made it too heavy for a six year old starting off a career, to hold with one hand.[1] Santoro has beaten many former world number one players including Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras, and is famous for his record against Marat Safin (currently 7-2). At 35, he is currently the second-oldest player in the ATP Top 100 (after Jonas Bjorkman).
