Two-fisted fun

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

Liem as she is sometimes known, was a favorite of tennis crowds
and writers around the world for her proficiency off both flanks.
