Lefties in Tennis: Doubles and Prize Money | The Summer of Jeff
https://summerofjeff.wordpress.com/2011/02/16/lefties-in-tennis-doubles-and-prize-money
Skip to search - Accesskey = s. The Summer of Jeff. Lefties in Tennis: Doubles and Prize Money. By Jeff on February 16, 2011. A few days ago, I offered some numbers on the prevalence of lefties in men’s tennis. It turned out that, in the top 300 of the ATP singles rankings, lefties don’t show up much more than you would expect them to. A reasonable follow-up question would be: What about doubles? The most current ATP doubles rankings tell a similar, if less extreme, story. Of the top 100 ranked doubl...

The Prevalence of Lefties in Men’s Tennis | The Summer of Jeff
https://summerofjeff.wordpress.com/2011/02/12/the-prevalence-of-lefties-in-mens-tennis
Skip to search - Accesskey = s. The Summer of Jeff. The Prevalence of Lefties in Men’s Tennis. By Jeff on February 12, 2011. Many people, in and out of tennis, believe that left-handed players have an advantage of some kind. The perceived advantage may just be one of unfamiliarity; a junior or club-level player doesn’t see many lefties, so he is unaccustomed to the angles and spins that come of a left-hander’s racquet. The short answer: Not really. Top 10: 2 (20%). Top 20: 3 (15%). Top 50: 6 (12%). An od...
