Which hand does Serena Williams use to play tennis?

Serena Williams uses her right hand to play tennis.

She is listed as right-handed, with a two-handed backhand. In a two-handed backhand, the dominant hand helps guide the stroke while both hands remain on the racket, which can sometimes cause confusion about whether a player is ambidextrous.

Williams began playing tennis as a child alongside her older sister, Venus, under the coaching of their parents, Richard Williams and Oracene Price. Her powerful right-handed serve and groundstrokes became defining features of her game.

Williams became one of the sport’s most successful players, winning 23 major singles titles and reaching world No. 1. Being right-handed does not mean every tennis stroke uses only one hand: her backhand, for example, uses both.
