by Fernando Wed Jul 06, 2011 4:26 pm

on a quick for people who enjoy other sports aswell as tennis there's a sports quiz on fridays - usually involved pictures, questions , anagrams etc.

by **laverfan** Wed Jul 06, 2011 5:59 pm

LK... for people working on the first 10, it would be a bit unfair not to wait till Friday.

Perhaps you can add the 10 new Qs to the same quiz and number it Quiz #2 and people can work on Quiz #2.

by legendkillar Wed Jul 06, 2011 7:27 pm

Answers are up. I shall post the next 10 in a while and the leaderboard. Smile

Sorry Legend - no concentration at all, just didn't read the last bit of your first message - you'd better amend my score to 1 and 1/2 laughing

by noleisthebest Wed Jul 06, 2011 8:30 pm

Legend,

I only ask not to be on the bottom of the list....... Whistle

by legendkillar Wed Jul 06, 2011 9:04 pm

The 2nd question seems a toughie. I shall give a clue. This feat happened at Wimbledon in 2003, US Open in 1999 and the Australian Open in 1997.

I thought I'd made a good stab at the last lot, but I think I must have only scored about 1 and a half points - blinking Stefan Edberg, completely forgot about him!!!

Legend - you still need to dock me points from 1st quiz on account of my googling - that should send me to bottom of pile! Crying or Very sad

6. Roger Federer in the Open Era holds one unique record that no-one in the mens game holds. What is it?
--------------------

Could you please be more specific on that one cause I can think of 50 records others don't have.
