Yes he is, there are videos of him playing in the players lounge - that are better. Apparently, Gael Monfils is the best TT player in  ATP. That's according to the other players.

There's a video of either Serena or Venus playing table tennis out there too.  You'll notice that these guys look decent while she looked awkward as hell.  That's simply because both of these guys played with a hardbat while someone made the mistake of handing her a sponge racket.  It's been my experience that if you give a tennis player a hardbat, they're actually pretty decent.

He may play with his right hand to make it easier for Nole.

Dunno how many of you guys know this, but Rafa Nadal's uncle/coach Toni Nadal was actually a table tennis player and champion of the Balearic Islands...one video I saw a long time ago (or was it an article I read?) mentioned that he was inspired by table tennis strokes when modeling Rafa's heavy topspin forehand.

Maybe Uncle Toni doesn't want to crush Rafa and his confidence before he has to go out face Djokovic or Federer!
