I do everything right handed except play golf and swing a bat, which I do left handed. Up until about 10 years ago, good LH clubs were still hard to find and, most people don't realize this, but most courses are designed for right handed golfers (right handed doglegs - RH golfers have a tendency to work the ball left to right and LH golfers are just the opposite.

Lefty tennis player has an advantage if they are good enough. Most right handed players are use to the kick and spin of right handed player. Rafa Nadal good example his HEAVY left-handed spin and unorthodox forehand stroke actually spins the ball outside in along with his vicious topspin virtually makes him unbeatable, especially on clay. There has been only one guy that dominated him for couple years. His initials are ND. IMO there are few advantages of left handed people, but for the most part they are at disadvantage in right handed world.

Lefties are not in their right mind. Google it. Interesting.
