Wallball Australia

Nick Santilli

Mentored by his father and all-time player great Joe Santilli. Nick quickly developed his game, becoming a formidable opponent against any opponent on any court. A gamestyle based off strong groundstrokes and killshots, Nick’s game resembled past heavy hitters of the 80’s and 90’s; but with a element of finesse. A reliable overhead and evolving sidearm, Nick’s game embodied the current era of Victorian Wallball; A play style to the likes of his Father Joe Santilli, Victorian great Dylan King, and Irish newcomers Ruairi Kelly and Chris Doolin.  

Nick’s game levelled up every time after going overseas. A student of the game, he study and watched closely on how the greats from overseas played, and took it for his own; combinating in his lone Open Single’s 4-Wall Title. A Nationals title where he faced his father and didn’t flinch. Nick joins a truely remarkable list of former champions and its his most crowning achievement.
