The Best Lefthanded Tennis Players since 2001
Angelique Kerber and Petra Kvitova are the two best womens tennis players of the 21st Century, although neither has been as dominant as Nadal has been in men's tennis. Their claim as the best women lefthanders of their generation is based on each of them having won multiple Grand Slam Singles Titles, and both winning many other WTA tournaments, and both being rated higher in the WTA rankings than any other lefthanded women. They have each accomplished enough to earn their own page and a longer story.
Rafael Nadal is far and away the best lefthanded tennis player of the 21st Century, possibly the best tennis player, left-handed or right-handed, of his generation, and one of the the greatest tennis player of all-time. His twenty-two Grand Slam Singles Titles are impressive enough, but his dominance on the tennis court goes far beyond those events. He has won 92 career titles (4th most in the Open Era) with a career match record of 1058 wins and only 212 losses and an 83.3 winning percentage that ranks #1 among Open Era players. At his peak he was ranked #1 in the world for 209 weeks and finished #1 in the year-end rankings five times.
Now age 38 and attempting to come back from injury, Nadal is currently ranked #153 in the ATP Ranking after just a few events played in 2024. If he can remain healthy he could easily regain his form and his lofty status at the top of the rankings. Click here for more about Rafael Nadal
