Two-fisted fun

In response to Gandhi Sukardi's musings in "Congratulations to Yayuk" in the Feb. 2 edition of The Jakarta Post, it is perfectly legal to play tennis ambidextrously, switching from the left to right hand or vice versa.

A top American women's player, Beverly Fleitz, reached the Wimbledon singles final in the 1950s using the method. And there is also a local connection. Indonesia's Lita Sugiarto, or Lita Liem as she is sometimes known, was a favorite of tennis crowds and writers around the world for her proficiency off both flanks.
