Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How many serves is a player allowed per game?

Answer: There is no limit

With deuce, ad in, and ad out, there's no limit to how long a game might go on, or how many serves will be involved. Some service games can go quite long.

2. What is it called when the ball touches the net during a serve?

Answer: Let

There is no limit to the number of times you can serve a let, although it can be nail-biting for the server.

3. Which Grand Slam is the first one on the calendar each year?

Answer: Australian Open

The tournament is held each January at Melbourne Park, Australia. The complex was formerly known as Flinders Park, and was constructed in time for the 1988 tournament to meet the demands of the evolving tournament that had outgrown Kooyong's capacity. When the Australian Open was played at Kooyong, it was played on grass, then later on hardcourt.

4. Which Grand Slam are you likely to get the dirtiest if you take a tumble on court?

Answer: French Open

The French Open is played on red clay, and at times can be a mess.

5. What would be the score if the server had 3 points and the receiver had 2 points?

Answer: 40-30

The first point is called 15, then comes 30, then 40.

6. Which tennis player had the nickname 'The Scud'?

Answer: Mark Philippoussis

A hallmark of Mark's game is his powerful serve and his sturdy ground strokes which earned him the nickname "The Scud". A Scud was a type of missile commonly used in 1991 Operation Desert Storm. Mark's fastest serve on record was 229kph, or 142mph.

7. Serena Williams is older than sister Venus Williams?

Both Williams sisters were born in the U.S. Serena Williams was born September 26, 1981, and Venus Williams was born June 17, 1980.

8. During an extended rally, a player hits the ball before the ball has time to bounce. What is the tennis terminology used to describe this shot?

Answer: Volley

Players that serve and volley are very rare these days. Pat Rafter comes to mind it. He won back-to-back U.S. Opens in 1997 and 1998 on the strength of his serve volley game.

9. Which player below won back-to-back U.S. opens?

Answer: Patrick Rafter

Pat's back-to-back U.S. Open victories were in 1997 against Greg Rusedski, and in 1998 against Mark Philippoussis.

Answer: Deuce line

Deuce is a score, for example, 40-40. All other options are lines on a tennis court.
