Why Aren't There More Lefthanded Tennis Players
Despite the success of all of these great lefthanded tennis players, the overall
number of lefthanders playing competitive tennis is fewer than might be expected.
Marketa Vondrousova won the 2023 Wimbledon Championship, joining Angelique Kerber and Petra Kvitova as the only women to win a Grand Slam Singles Title in the 21st century. The 24 year old from the Czech Republic had just one prior win on the WTA Tour, but she had been runnerup in the 2019 French Open prior to turning 20. She was ranked 42nd on the Tour prior to her surprise win, which moved her up to the 10th ranked player on the women tour.
Congratulations to Marketa Vondrousova
for her victory in the 2023 Wimbledon Championship.
The Best Lefthanders since 2001
