Then Nadal answered, “I can not play with the right hand, I can write with the right hand. My basketball skills are with 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.”

Then Federer replied, “Okay, so then I cannot be angry, that is just natural.”
