From A Novel Way to Recover from Injury:
Flamboyant French tennis player Arnaud Clement is pioneering an unusual way to keep his eye in while sidelined with a painful right wrist injury — he plays left-handed.The 2001 Australian Open runner up — instantly recognizable by his brightly colored outfits and bandanas and his on-court sunglasses — has been out of action with lingering tendinitis since the beginning of the season.
But instead of putting his feet up while he recovers, the right-handed baseliner has been playing left-handed at an amateur tournament in the south of France.
The French Tennis Federation gave Clement permission to play in the tournament in Gap with his “wrong hand” and he went on to beat two good local players in straight sets, French sports daily l’Equipe reported.
“Why am I smiling? Because I know something you don’t know: I am not left-handed either!”
