Post of the day.

Strangely Ashe wore contacts when winning his.

Very good - if I could cheekily tag on another quickie:

What links Jean Borotra and Frank Spencer?

by Guest Tue 24 Jul - 13:11

Betty?

by time please Tue 24 Jul - 13:14

They knocked themselves out with a tennis raquet?

Or pandemonium ensued when they both wielded one?

by Calder106 Tue 24 Jul - 13:20

Both wore berets ? Though I can't remember seeing Frank playing. Must have missed that episode.

by Guest Tue 24 Jul - 13:21

May have to bring back another one of me tennis quizzes this week.

by The Special Juan Tue 24 Jul - 13:24

Which player inadvertently led to the death of a linesman with their serve?

Stefan Edberg

Pineapple

by time please Tue 24 Jul - 13:33

Stefan Edberg.

Looks like an acorn (not Edberg) the top of the Wimbledon trophy!

Have we solved the Frank Spencer riddle yet?

by The Special Juan Tue 24 Jul - 13:37

Ah you're all too good.

No idea about that one. Something to do with something French?

Beret wearers was indeed what I was looking for.

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue 24 Jul - 14:08

What links Mark Phillipoussis and Jim Courier at Wimbledon?

by barrystar Tue 24 Jul - 14:17

Lost in the final 10 years apart to the day?

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue 24 Jul - 14:21

barrystar wrote:Lost in the final 10 years apart to the day?

Not quite what I was thinking, but along the right lines - more specific that that

by time please Tue 24 Jul - 14:31

One lost to Sampras at S's first W and the other to Federer at Fed's.

Therefore:

Both lost to a seven times champion at that champion's first Wimbledon triumph????

by time please Tue 24 Jul - 14:42

barry set me up nicely to get that one

On a very similar theme: what links John McEnroe and Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon - twice!

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue 24 Jul - 14:49

Lost twice in the final , winning it in between?

by time please Tue 24 Jul - 14:51

on the right tracks, pretty warm but thinking a little more specific than that.

(hint: it was your clue that suggested this one)

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue 24 Jul - 14:57

Final opponent in Borg's 5th victory and Fed's 5th victory

by time please Tue 24 Jul - 15:04

That's the first part right thumbsup

There is another coincidence that links them at the same tournament for second part.

by barrystar Tue 24 Jul - 15:04

And when they won their first Wimbledon's they snapped a 5-in-a-row streak against the same opponent who had gotten to 5-in-a-row against them.

Symetry through the tennis ages.

The Wimbledon final was Fed's 7th win there, but what other milestone did he set numbered 6 with that win?

by time please Thu 26 Jul - 1:50

Don't know!

After checking that I realised that can't be the answer, it's the seventh season he won on all three surfaces. So let me try again:

6th season he won a title on grass, hard, clay & indoor?
