Hey Alois,

I've just noticed that you are left-handed.

Finally I can ask a left-handed person this! :)

Is it necessarily harder for you since you are left-handed or is it just the same as a right-handed person? Most people I see in competitions are right-handed so would it be harder for you to counter-hit their serve?

THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING! YAY!

Hi Caleb,

On the contrary I think we have an advantage being left handed because the right handers don't play against as many left handers so they are not used to it.
