Former 17-year-old Roland Garros winner Michael Chang explained Rafael Nadal’s immense domination on clay. According to the American, being left-handed gives him a huge advantage.
“He has the amazing ability to hit a lot of forehands and move really well on clay. He’s very aggressive, although patient when he needs it, but most of the time, if the blow is there, he takes it. It is he who manipulates, moves you and puts you in awkward positions. If Rafa was a right-handed player, I don’t think his game would be that effective. Being left-handed means everything is turning the other way. Powerful forehands always go into the backhand of a right-handed player, knocking them off the pitch, and the backhand coming back the other way, it’s hard to cover », Chang explained to the BBC.
