Can tennis players who are ambidextrous (e.g Nadal) use both hands at alternate times during one match?

Question

Is there a rule in tennis against this? especially on returning serve because the opponent will think he/she has served to backhand of a player on a certain side of the court but that actually turns out to be a forehand.

Answer 1

There's no rule against it. Luke Jensen served with both arms, and I don't see why someone couldn't have 2 forehands... it's just uncommon and has never happened before.

Answer 2

Yeah you can use either hand at any time in a match.... Nadal is an example but Maria Sharapova if she caught on her backhand side and she cannot get to the ball will switch hands and hit a left handed forehand.:)

Hope i helped:D

Answer 3

yes they can

Answer 4

Yes, and they can use both legs, i.e. to turn to the left and to turn to the right,, also have a close look at their ears, they seem to close and open,, duhhhhh
