He has tremendous natural ability and a wealth of international experience. He was a finalist in the 18 and Under National Championships in Spain a year ago and he was recruited by many of the top schools in the country. Our expectations for Nicolas are high and I feel confident he is ready to deliver. He has a very powerful game and I think he will contribute high in our line up in both singles and doubles.
