Can a tennis player be a leftie and a rightie?

Question

I can play tennis both left and right handed. My Left has more control, but my right has much more power.

Answer 1

of course they can.
Rightie or Leftie refers to the dominant hand. It tends to have more power and control.
Some players are even 'ambidextrous' and play equally with both hands.
Famous tennis players
Male Leftie - McEnroe, John
Female Leftie - Navratilova, Martina
Male Rightie - Federer, Roger
Female Rightie - Sharapova, Maria

Answer 2

yes..you can use both hands...but I suggest that to go left handed..Control is more important and harder to develop than power...power will come the more you play/exercise..plus being left handed has an advantage most people aren't used to playing lefties and it can throw their game off. Nadal is a prime example of a righty who plays left handed.

Answer 3

yeah a tennis player can be both a leftie and a rightie but its up to you choose the which hand you want to play.

Answer 4

ya tennis player can b both leftie and rightie.
it depends upon u 2 decide which hand 2 use.

Answer 5

I don't see why not. Alot of people can use both hands for many different reasons, so why not tennis to.

Answer 6

Definitely, if that's how you play best, then definitely hit one side right-handed, and one side left-handed. Maria Sharapova has been known to occasionally hit a left-handed forehand when stretched wide, and Luke Jensen is ambidexterous. He thinks it's preferable to learn how to hit overheads left and right handed so you don't have to hit a backhand overhead.

Answer 7

Yes... a person I knew can play effectively either left-handed or right-handed.

Answer 8

Of course. It is up to you which hand you want to use. I would use your right hand because you can practice on control yet is is hard to get power.

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

As far as training goes, you should pick one because you would have to train twice as much to be good with both hands. And I dont see much of an advantage of being good in both.
