Experience

PRO PLAYER HISTORY;

I made my first ATP point at 17 years old. I competed on the professional circuit for several years, playing over 50 Futures tournaments around the world until I was 22 or 23. My highest ATP ranking was 1490. After that, I began traveling the world, playing money tournaments and interclub competitions in Germany, France, Switzerland, and Italy. Currently, as a player, I am a sparring partner for some professional players and compete in money tournaments in France.

HISTORY AS A COACH;

My first job as a coach was at Balma Tennis Club when I was 23 years old. I worked with the high-performance tennis team for one year, as well as with children and teenagers aged 10 to 17. During my time there, I worked with 10 players and traveled with them for tournaments and events at the club.

For the past 4 years, I have been working with the ATP/ITF circuit. I won an ATP title at the ATP Buenos Aires in 2025, coaching Theo Arribagé, who is ranked 60th in the world in doubles.

Testimonial

I worked with Nico for a year and a half. He’s a really easy guy to work with, always bringing new things to the group. With him, I won my first ATP title and my first Grand Slam victory. I’m very grateful to have trained with Nico during that time
