Ambidextrous

adj: Able to use both hands with equal ease. A number of tennis players have used either hand in executing forehand and backhand strokes, only a few have been truly ambidextrous. The outstanding example is Beverly Baker Fleitz, who switched her racquet from hand to hand, depending on which side the ball was coming to, with the result that she never hit a backhand! She was ranked No. 3 in the United States in 1954, and reached the final in Wimbledon in 1955.
