Manuel Castaño

Still in his teens, Manuel Castaño has already won Spanish, European and world youth titles, a sweep that marks him as one of the most complete prospects to come out of the Spanish system in years. The left-hander from San Sebastian de los Reyes trains at a Madrid academy and has begun appearing in senior main draws. He currently partners Pol Hernandez and is ranked No. 55 in the FIP world rankings.
