tennis trivia question:
 
what was the first serve percentage for roger in that match he lost to fillipo volandri at the rome masters a few years ago?
 
i think it was either in 2007 or 2008.

44%. Worst I can remember.

Not that one, because it stuck out like a sore thumb. I am a Fed fan, after all. Ask me about his 1st serve percentage in any of the 17 slams wins, however, and all I have is an approximation.

That was my only chance to shine in this thread, by the way. I'm awful with pictures.

damn general freaky. general markus is a true rival to anyone here.
 
44% was right.
 
 
now lets fire off another tennis trivia question:
 
 
nadal broke serve 2 times out of every 3 times at the french open in 2008:
 
true or false?

[Clay Death]

2nd tennis trivia question:
 
nadal played and won more matches on hard courts than anyone alive on the tour in 2008.
 
 
true or false?

[Freak3yman84]

True; False

[Clay Death]

ha ha ha. so you are guessing general freaky.

[Clay Death]

true was the right answer for both of those questions.
 
so 50% pass rate is failing. that means i have 2 more questions on the way for you later on today.

True, what's more surprising is the amount of times he lost serve. Not that it mattered.....

[Litotes]

true was the right answer for both of those questions.

Bad timing, I see. You gave two hours and I came in only a few minutes behind.

[Clay Death]

general markus is to this game as general javier the fearless is to FITD.

2nd question: was jimmy connors one of them? true or false?

1) We are thinking open era? Hmm.....Connors, Sampras...are they really the only ones? I say 2. EDIT! Even Sampras didnt win this double. So one. Surely I fogot someone.

2) True, 1974

[Clay Death]

the great manolo orantes--called the master of spin and placement--- won the u.s. open in 1975.
 
he beat 2 u.s.open champions in succession: one who was an ex u.s.open champ and the other who would be the future u.s. open champ.
 
 
who were those 2 players he beat?

[Litotes]

Sorry, this is what happens when ttrying to do fast. I suddenly began thinking AO and USO. Silly me.

2nd question: was jimmy connors one of them? true or false?

Trying again, answering the real question this time.

1) Connors, Sampras, so 2. My original anwer before I stupidly started editing. Still think I forgot someone, though.

2) Still yes, still 1974

[Clay Death]

geenral markus we are going all the way back to 1938.
 
so you would have to conclude that don budge was one of them. and then came dick savit.
 
and connors in 1974 if i am not mistaken.

I see! Didn't realize that, good to know. Budge I would have remembered. Savit I would not.
