Very interesting... (the thread and the links!)

That may explain why Rafa Nadal, being left handed has now won 2 Wimbledon's, one Australian Open, in addition to his 5 Roland Garros and now a US Open???

Mmmh... maybe not the same exact subject... but it has to do with "left-and-right" issues... That's why I brought it up...

The reason the left foot is always mad at the right foot: 'cause he's is always right!!! (And I am not biased.) (Note that Rafa Nadal is a natural 'right-handed' who got trained as a lefty...) (Lefty = zurdo, zocato in Spanish...)
