First topic message reminder :

Would any of the regular posters like to participate in a weekly tennis quiz that I will run? to test your knowledge without the use of such tools as wikipedia and google?

Let me know, and I will put up as a sticky. thumbsup

It is in the Grand Slams and it is nothing to do with how many he has won or the semi final appearances record. It would be an unwanted one by the great man himself, but for others it would be an achievement.

RF, SW and AF have in common? Erm

That is a hard one.

Shouldn't have said that - this round is the toughest yet!

You are more than welcome to #1. Wink

As some one said, it is not hard to be #1, but staying there is what takes a lot of work. I am willing to be Rafa to your Federer. Hug

by Tenez Sat Jul 09, 2011 3:58 pm

It's ok - I let you have the top spot....as long as your are not bending the rules like Rafa! Wink

by **laverfan** Sat Jul 09, 2011 8:08 pm

LK... the anagram in Quiz 4 Q 2 is driving me up the wall. Is it a current top 70 this player is from or is the entire Open Era or even further back? Sad

Yes current top 70!

Thanks Tenez. I did figure it out eventually last night. Very few players with two 'G's in their names. Yikes

Round 4 Answers are up Smile

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon Jul 11, 2011 8:50 am

Oh dear, that's a bit embarrassing. Here's hoping everyone else did as poorly as me.

by legendkillar Mon Jul 11, 2011 8:50 am

standings are as followed Smile

JM I am sure you will soar up the rankings soon

by **laverfan** Mon Jul 11, 2011 10:08 am

LK... just curious.

Mats Wilander stepped down as SWE captain in 2009.

http://www.daviscup.com/en/news/articles/wilander-nystrom-step-down.aspx

Enqvist became the captain following Wilander.

Erm

by legendkillar Mon Jul 11, 2011 10:27 am

Strange. I researched it and he came up as current captain??

steam

Round 5 questions are up.

by legendkillar Tue Jul 12, 2011 1:49 pm

I shall post the answers to round 5 tomorrow in the afternoon.

The questions after shall be from the decades. I shall start at 70's then go up by each round Smile

After those rounds I will ask the participants to submit a question each.

by **laverfan** Tue Jul 12, 2011 1:53 pm

Fantastic LK. clap

by **laverfan** Thu Jul 14, 2011 7:56 am

LK... where are you? We need our quiz fix. Wink

Answers for round 5 are up guys thumbsup

by **JuliusHMarx** Thu Jul 14, 2011 10:51 am

OMG, there goes what little credibility I had left. How do people know any of this stuff off by heart? It's like knowing about Bose Condensation!

by Tenez Thu Jul 14, 2011 11:10 am

That last round was very tough. I may have been lucky with question 1. I said 3 at one stage but may have changed my mind. Got a few wrong cause I did not consider the WTA players in my answers.

But hats off to those who can name the 14 spanish players in the top 100. That's clearly beyond me.

by **laverfan** Thu Jul 14, 2011 11:44 am

I got 11 of 14 Spaniards (missed Riba, Ramos, DGT). steam

by **JuliusHMarx** Thu Jul 14, 2011 11:56 am

Don't sweat it LF - if you asked me tomorrow I'd still miss Riba, Ramos and DGT.

by **laverfan** Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:19 pm

I should not, Julius, you are correct. Hug

I missed a couple of others too. Sad

by Tenez Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:24 pm

I did not even bother but I think I put 13...my fav number.

Pretty good Tenez. thumbsup

Leaderboard is up after round 5, and I am working on the next set of questions for the decades round. We shall start in the 1970's

by **laverfan** Thu Jul 14, 2011 1:02 pm

Fantastic LK. Wink
