Wimbledon Trivia Questions

1. In 1930, which American won his third Wimbledon men's singles titles at the age of 37?

From Quiz
Wimbledon in the 1930s & 40s

Answer: Bill Tilden

Bill Tilden had previously been Wimbledon champion in 1920 and 1921, but looked unlikely to add to that number when he turned up in SW19 in 1930 aged 37. He rolled back the years, defeating Jean Borotra in five sets in the semi-finals before beating Wilmer Allison in straight sets in the final. In the women's singles, Helen Wills Moody won her fourth straight title, defeating fellow American Elizabeth Ryan in the final.

2. In 2010, which player upset both Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic on his way to a final loss to Rafael Nadal?

From Quiz Wimbledon in the 2010s

Answer: Tomas Berdych

Twelfth seed Berdych had never reached the final of a Grand Slam event before Wimbledon in 2010. He shocked defending champion Federer in four sets in the quarterfinals and then saw off Djokovic in straight sets in the semis. The final was a step too far though, Nadal winning his second title in straight sets. In the women's singles, Serena Williams won her fourth title, winning all seven matches in straight sets - Vera Zvonareva was her opponent in the final.

3. Who was the first to win the Ladies' singles title eight times?

From Quiz Wimbledon Winners

Answer: Helen Wills Moody (USA)

Helen Wills Moody (USA) was the first to win eight Ladies' singles titles (1927-30, 1932-33, 1935 and 1938). Martina Navratilova (USA) however, has won the Ladies singles title nine times (1978-79, 1982-1987 and 1990). Dorothea Lambert Chambers (UK) won the Ladies' singles titles on 7 occasions (1903-4, 1906, 1910-11 and 1913-14). Steffi Graf (GER) also won the Ladies' singles title on 7 occasions (1988-89, 1991-93, 1995-96).

4. The first men's singles final of the decade saw victory for which player from Arkansas, USA?

From Quiz Wimbledon in the 1950s

Answer: Budge Patty

Patty was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas, in 1924. He won the 1950 French Open and added the Wimbledon title the same year, defeating Frank Sedgman in four sets in the final.

5. What former Wimbledon champion (2008 and 2010) lost in the second round to Dustin Brown?

From Quiz 2015 Wimbledon Championships - Men's Side

Answer: Rafael Nadal

Unfortunately for Nadal, the 2015 Wimbledon was the fourth straight year that he was eliminated at Wimbledon before the quarterfinals. Although six of the 32 seeded players were from Spain, none of them made it to the quarterfinals.

6. In the third round of the 2015 Wimbledon Championships Jelena Jankovic beat the defending champion in a three set match. Who was this 2014 winner from the Czech Republic that lost in the third round as the 2 seed?

From Quiz 2015 Wimbledon Championships - Women's Side

Answer: Petra Kvitova

Petra Kvitova dominated in her first two rounds as she lost just a combined three games in the two matches. Kvitova is a tall, left-handed player and she was the first person of either gender born in the 1990s to win a Grand Slam event in tennis. Jankovic lost in her next match to Agnieszka Radwañska which was the fifth time she'd lost at Wimbledon in the fourth round.

7. There was a shock result on the very first day of the tournament when Rafael Nadal lost in straight sets. Which player beat Nadal in the first round?

From Quiz Wimbledon 2013

Answer: Steve Darcis

The Belgian player Steve Darcis was responsible for one of the shock results of Wimbledon 2013 when he beat two time Wimbledon champion (2008 and 2010) Rafael Nadal in straight sets. Darcis, ranked 135 in the world, beat the 5th seed Nadal 7-6 7-6 6-4. This was the first time Nadal had been knocked out of a Grand Slam in the first round and it was the first time since 1996 that the winner of Roland Garros lost in the first round at Wimbledon.

8. Who did Elena Vesnina defeat in the first round of the Ladies Singles?

From Quiz Wimbledon 2012

Answer: Venus Williams

Elena Vesnina (Russia) defeated Venus Williams (USA) 6-1 6-3, but lost in the 2nd round to Agnieszka Radwanska (Poland) 6-2 6-1. Venus Williams is the sister of the famous player Serena Williams and together they dominated tennis in the early 2000s. Elena Vesnina also plays doubles, with the Indian player Sania Mirza. The Italian Flavia Pennetta also went out in the first round to fellow Italian Camila Giorgi. Marion Bartoli suffered an upset at the hands of Mirjana Lucic.

9. Going into the 2010 Wimbledon Championships, Isner and Mahut had taken very different career paths. Isner's successful play in 2010 had actually earned him a low seeding at the tournament. How did Mahut get into Wimbledon?

From Quiz Isner/Mahut: Greatest Match Ever!

Answer: He won three difficult matches in the qualifying tournament

To get into any Grand Slam tournament, players must either be ranked highly enough to qualify automatically, win three matches in pre-tournament qualifying rounds, or earn a wild card into the draw. Wild cards are usually given to strong, popular players whose rankings had dropped due to injury, or to players that will earn popular support in the home country. Mahut was one of 16 players to qualify into the Wimbledon draw after facing tough competition in the early rounds. He beat Canadian Frank Dancevic in the first round before defeating British hope Alex Bogdanovic 24-22 in the third decisive set. In the final rounds, he topped Austria's Stefan Koubek in five sets after trailing two sets to love. Isner had almost no grass court experience in his career, but his top 20 ranking justified a seeding at the tournament. Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam tournament that seeds players not just by their Tour rankings, but also by past grass court successes. That's why, in 2010, Roger Federer was the first seed even though he was ranked second in the world to Rafael Nadal.

10. In 1990, Martina Navratilova won an unprecedented ninth women's singles title at Wimbledon, defeating which American player in the final?

From Quiz Wimbledon in the 1990s

Answer: Zina Garrison

Garrison, who had upset defending champion Steffi Graf in the semis, was making her first appearance in the final of a Grand Slam tournament. In the final, 33-year old Navratilova proved too strong, winning 6-4, 6-1. In the men's event, Stefan Edberg saw a two-set lead disappear against defending champion Boris Becker, but the Swede rallied to take the fifth set, and his second Wimbledon crown.

11. The 1980 men's singles final featured an epic 4th set tiebreaker between Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe. Who won this tiebreaker, and by what score?

From Quiz Wimbledon in the 1980s

Answer: McEnroe 18-16

McEnroe saved five match points before prevailing 18-16 to take it to a fifth set. However, Borg won the final set 8-6 to win his fifth successive title. In the women's final, Evonne Goolagong Cawley won her first title since 1971, beating Chris Evert in straight sets.

12. The 1970 Wimbledon Championships ended in triumph in both the men's and women's singles for players from which country?

From Quiz Wimbledon in the 1970s

Answer: Australia

John Newcombe defeated fellow Aussie Ken Rosewall in five sets in the men's final to clinch his second Wimbledon crown. Margaret Court won an epic women's final, defeating Billie Jean King 14-12, 11-9 (there were no tiebreakers in those days).

13. In 1960, the men's singles final was an all-Australian affair. Which player came out on top to add the Wimbledon trophy to the US Championship crown that he had won in 1959?

From Quiz Wimbledon in the 1960s

Answer: Neale Fraser

Fraser defeated Laver in 4 sets to win what would be his only Wimbledon singles title. In the women's final, Maria Bueno retained her title by defeating Sandra Reynolds of South Africa 8-6, 6-0.

14. In 2007, Roger Federer won the Wimbledon Championships, matching a record of 5 consecutive Wimbledon singles titles set by another former tennis great. Who was this player?

From Quiz Wimbledon Winners and Losers

Answer: Bjorn Borg

Bjorn Borg won the Wimbledon championships 5 times between the years of 1976 and 1980, an honour that Roger Federer matched in 2007.

15. When was the first men's singles champion crowned?

From Quiz The History of Wimbledon

Answer: 1877

Spencer Gore was the first men's singles champion. He defeated William Marshall in the final. His financial prize for winning the tournament was 12 guineas.

16. From an overall Championships viewpoint, what was special about 1977?

From Quiz Wimbledon Tennis Championships: 1977

Answer: The Championships were celebrating their centenary

Whilst the first tournament had taken place in 1877, it had been suspended during each of the two World Wars.

17. Who lost to Pete Sampras in the final of Wimbledon 1994?

From Quiz Wimbledon

Answer: Goran Ivanisevic

Goran Ivanisevic lost to Pete Sampras 7-6, 7-6, 6-0 who was to win Wimbledon 7 times! A record.

18. Who was the first non-British player to win the Men's Singles Championship at Wimbledon?

From Quiz Wimbledon History

Answer: Norman Brookes

Norman Brookes was Australian. However, in the Ladies Singles Championships, May Sutton (later Bundy) from the US, became the first non-British player to ever win Wimbledon, when she took the title in 1905. She also won in 1907, the same year as Norman Brookes.

19. By which famous postcode are the Wimbledon Championships often referred to?

From Quiz Anyone for Tennis?

Answer: SW19

Wimbledon Tennis Club is situated on Church Road between Somerset Road and Wimbledon Park Road in the London Borough of Merton. The other postcodes: NW8 is Lord's Cricket Ground; SW1 is Buckingham Palace and HA9 is Wembley Stadium.

20. In 1931, Cilly Aussem became the first player from which country to win either singles title at Wimbledon?

From Quiz Wimbledon in the 1930s & 40s

Answer: Germany

Cilly Aussem, from Cologne, had already won the French Open in 1931, and added the Wimbledon crown with victory over fellow-German Hilde Krahwinkel in the final. Germany would have to wait until Boris Becker in 1985 for her next Wimbledon singles champion. In the men's singles, Sidney Wood won the title after fellow-American Frank Shields withdrew from the final due to injury.

21. 2011 saw new champions in both singles events for the first time in nine years. Novak Djokovic won the men's singles, but who triumphed in the women's event?

From Quiz Wimbledon in the 2010s

Answer: Petra Kvitova

Kvitová defeated Maria Sharapova in straight sets in the final to become the first Czech winner since Jana Novotna in 1998. In the men's event, Djokovic faced defending champion Rafael Nadal in the final and won in four sets.

22. Which American woman won her only Wimbledon singles title in 1951?

From Quiz Wimbledon in the 1950s

Answer: Doris Hart

Doris Hart, who was born in St Louis in 1925, had already won the 1949 Australian Chmpionship and 1950 French Championship when she arrived at Wimbledon in 1951. In the final, she thrashed fellow-American Shirley Fry 6-1 6-0. In 1954, Hart completed a career Grand Slam with victory at the US Championships.

23. The junior 2014 Wimbledon Championships was won by Jelena Ostapenko and in 2015 at the age of 18 she participated in her first Wimbledon as a wild card. What Spanish player who was seeded ninth, did she beat in round one of the 2015 Wimbledon?

From Quiz 2015 Wimbledon Championships - Women's Side

Answer: Carla Suarez Navarro

Ostapenko dominated the match against Carla Suarez Navarro as she won in straight sets 6-2, 6-0. In the second round Ostapenko lost to Kristina Mladenovic in straight sets. Other than Ostapenko, no other wild card won a match at the 2015 Wimbledon.

24. Dubbed "Withdrawal Wednesday", day three of the tournament set a record for the most players to withdraw in a day at a grand slam in the open era. How many players withdrew on this day?

From Quiz Wimbledon 2013

Answer: 7

"Withdrawal Wednesday" saw seven players withdraw through injury. They were: Victoria Azarenka, Jo-Wilfred Tsonga, Marin Cilic, John Isner, Radek Stepanek, Yaroslava Shvedova and Nadal's conqueror Steve Darcis. The women's 3rd seed, Maria Sharapova, also went out on this day after injuring herself during her match although she completed the match and did not withdraw. This string of withdrawals and injuries lead to criticism of the Wimbledon courts with Azarenka claiming they were of "poor quality" and Sharapova deeming them "dangerous". However, the organisers defended the courts saying they were the same as in previous years.

25. Who beat Rafael Nadal in the 2nd round of the Gentleman's Singles?

From Quiz Wimbledon 2012

Answer: Lukas Rosol

Rafael Nadal was ranked No. 2 but suffered a shocking defeat to Lukas Rosol, who was ranked 100, in a five set thriller. The scoreline was 6-7 (9-11), 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4. After this Nadal suffered a string of injuries and missed both the US Open and the Australian Open. Lukas Rosol lost in the 3rd round to Philipp Kohlschreiber in straight sets. The other players mentioned lost in the 2nd round as well.

26. On June 22, 2010, Isner and Mahut took to the court in an unanticipated first round clash. Barely any attention was paid to them, partly because they were scheduled to play where?

From Quiz Isner/Mahut: Greatest Match Ever!

Answer: Court 18

Court 18 is one of the outer courts at the All-England Club, and even though it's better than the small show courts traditionally reserved for doubles or juniors matches, the accommodations are nothing like those found on Centre Court or Court 1. One major detriment to the match's location was that an automatic line-calling system ("Hawkeye" to tennis fans) was not present on the outer Wimbledon courts. That meant that, as the match progressed, players were forced to abide with the umpire's line calls and couldn't issue a challenge. There were no McEnroe-level temper tantrums, but questionable calls arose on both sides, as they will in any important match. After the epic Wimbledon final between Federer and Nadal in 2008, the All-England Club installed a roof over Centre Court to prevent such rain delays from occurring again. In the first two years of competition, the roof was fairly useless, because rain mysteriously vanished from the typically-wet grounds in June. In a first round match between Olivier Rochus and Novak Djokovic in 2010, their match was moved to Centre after sundown to allow them to finish in a lighted arena. No such arrangements could be made for Isner and Mahut, stranded on lonely Court 18.

27. Two unseeded women from East Europe made it all the way to the semifinals at the expense of some more famous names. Which two women caused major upsets on their way to the last four at Wimbledon 2010?

From Quiz An Upset-Filled 2010 Tournament

Answer: Tsevatana Pironkova and Petra Kvitova

The Bulgarian lady Pironkova upset Marion Bartoli and Venus Williams along the way before losing to Vera Zvonareva in the semifinals, while Kvitova (from the Czech Republic) beat Victoria Azarenka and Caroline Wozniacki before losing to Serena Williams. Both Pironkova and Kvitova were ranked well outside the top 40 coming into Wimbledon 2010.

28. In 1991, both men's and women's titles were won by Germans ; which two players emerged triumphant?

From Quiz Wimbledon in the 1990s

Answer: Michael Stich and Steffi Graf

Graf won her third title in an epic final against Gabriela Sabatini, eventually winning 8-6 in the third set. Becker was hot favourite to defeat his fellow countryman Stich in the men's final, but Stich, who had ousted Stefan Edberg in the semis, triumphed in straight sets.

29. In 1981, John McEnroe gained revenge for his 1980 defeat by defeating Bjorn Borg in four sets in the final. Chris Evert won the women's final by defeating which Czech player, making her final debut?
