After struggling to bring his fellow professionals into the conversation during his first Instagram live session, Rafael Nadal finally managed to bring his long time opponent and friend Roger Federer on board. The two tennis greats talked about how they are dealing with the lockdown, staying at home and some reminiscences of their childhood days. During their conversation, Federer also confessed that Nadal’s left-hand play bothers him.

Federer used to struggle against left-handers in the early stages of his career. Subsequently, he honed his game to deal with the lefties. However, he still has a problem with one of them from the past decade and a half – Nadal. The Swiss great also inquired Nadal about why he plays with the left-hand in spite of being a right-hander?

“That’s a problem for me” – Roger Federer

“One thing I wanted to ask you because it has been bothering me that you are a lefty. That’s a problem for me. If you are a righty, why do you play lefty when you could play with the right hand,” Federer queried Nadal.

“I can not play with the right hand. I can write with the right hand. My basketball skills are with the right but not in tennis. I started with two hands-backhand and forehand. I was hitting with two-hand backhand so people did not know whether I was left-handed or right-handed. But I always played with left-hand,” Nadal answered
