Rafa is a total class act, and because of his success and the way he is as a person, and what he brings to tennis, no one should be telling him what to do
— John McEnroe

Left handers bring a certain aesthetic beaty to any sport and often the unconventional character to go alongside.

Two of tennis’s great left-handers were Raphael Nadal of Spain and John McEnroe of America. Both multiple grand slam winners and both with yells that typify their personalities.

Nadal - determined and resilient would celebrate key points with a roar of defiance.

McEnroe of fragile temperament would often lose patience and yell famously at officials, opponents and also at himself. This was a call of exasperation not celebration.

Different personalities but great champions.
