Left-handed player, Rafael Nadal, thwarted Roger Federer's attempt to win his fifth Wimbledon title. Interestingly, back in 1980, Bjorn Borg failed to secure his fifth title by being beaten by the left-handed John McEnroe.
- Other famous left handers include Rod Laver, Jimmy Connors, Roscoe Tanner, Goran Ivanisevic, Greg Rudesksi, Martina Navratilova, Monica Seles, and Ann Jones - Britain's only left-handed Wimbldeon champion.
- The 1950s American Wimbledon champion, Little Mo Connolly, was left handed but persuaded by her coach to switch and play as a right hander.
- From 1974-1984, all the men's singles winners of the US Open were left handed.
