Please don't look this up before answering folks (if you do, you will instantly realise why the question has a twist to it)

Roscoe Tanner and Vitas Gerulaitis both won Slams in 1977

Can you say which Slam was won by which player ....?

Was it the same slam, i.e. doubles?

Two AOs that year. John Lloyd lost to Gerulaitis in one of the finals.

Did one of them get stripped of the title for some reason?

Or maybe rain washed out play, so they called it a draw??

Is that allowed Smile

IMO they should have two French Open's every year from now on, if it's allowed.

The other half of that question is - who won the Aus Open in 1986?

Well done carrieg

There was a schedule change, resulting in one AO being held January and another in December.

Cracked in 28 mins. I'll have to try harder next time Erm

JHM re '86 - Would that be nobody ....??

How comes all this cancelling and doubling was allowed??

Any possibility we may be able to fit in 4 French Opens in 2013?

January: French Open
May: French Open
July: French Open
September: French Open

Looks like a fantastic schedule to me.

*If Nadal returns from injury that is. If not, we may as well have all tournaments on low quality Astro Turf. Would be fun to watch Federer try and return a serve which bounce twice before it crosses the service line.

Why not 1 French Open a month, and then every 2 months they visit Monte Carlo?

Bloody brilliant.
We should both take over the ATP, they are all useless anyway.

Nice idea but I think I can safely say you're pretty much on your own with that one IMBL.

There's a particular player who might find it appealing, although I doubt the tv broadcasters would be inundated with requests for transmission rights when FO editions 2, 3 & 4 come around all in the same year ....... Erm

Don't forget Monte Carlo from time to time too, in-between some of the FOs Ok!

The answer was a Rain Delay, which in itself isn't uncommon, except the tournament was played indoors.
