The player

01

Point construction before point completion.

Luca Pellis is an all-court player shaped by long afternoons on clay and an instinct for moving forward when the opening arrives.

Raised in Lugano and now based in Milan, Pellis uses a heavy inside-out forehand to shift the rally before finishing at net. He turned professional in 2021 after serving as training captain at the Meridian Alpine Institute.

Match identity

02

The Lugano Switch

His best tennis starts with time: shape the rally, expose the deuce side, then change height or direction.

01

Inside-out forehand

The primary weapon and the shot that creates most of his front-court opportunities.

02

Transition instinct

Baseline pressure becomes a net finish as soon as the opponent gives up court position.

03

Return discipline

The current focus is resisting the urge to force forehands early in return games.

Career highlights

03

Four seasons, one direction.

From a clay final in 2023 to his career-high ranking in late 2025.
