Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the area on which the game of tennis is played?

Answer: Court

The tennis court is rectangle-shaped, and is divided into two equal halves by the net over which the ball has to be hit.

2. On what type of surface is the game of tennis played?

Answer: Tennis can be played on any of these surfaces

Each different playing surface provides a slightly different playing experience, requiring players to adapt their style according to the surface on which they are playing.

3. Tennis is generally played as either singles or doubles. How many people are on the playing surface during a game of doubles?

Answer: Four

Doubles tennis is played by two teams of two players, with a slightly bigger playing surface than singles tennis.

4. A game of tennis is scored in a slightly unusual way. Which of the following is NOT a valid score in tennis?

Answer: 25

The scoring in a game of tennis is as follows ... 15, 30, 40, game, with "love" being used to denote a score of zero.

5. The score 40-40 has a special name. What word is used to refer to it?

Answer: Deuce

Used to indicate when players are tied at 40 each, "Deuce", which is pronounced similarly to the word "juice", comes from the French "a deux de jeu", which means "to both is the game".

6. In which district of London is a very famous tennis tournament held each year?

Answer: Wimbledon

Played at the All England Club since 1877, Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world.

7. There are four main tennis tournaments each year. What are these collectively known as?

Answer: Grand Slam

The Grand Slam tournaments are the Australian Open (played in January), the French Open (played in May/June), Wimbledon (played in July), and the US Open (played in August/September).

8. Three of these men have won each of the four major tennis tournaments at least once, however one has not, as he is a soccer player. Can you identify the infiltrator?

Answer: Wayne Rooney

Englishman Fred Perry won all four tournaments in the 1930s, American Andre Agassi won all four tournaments during the 1990s and early 2000s, and Serbian Novak Djokovic won all four tournaments during the 2000s and 2010s. English footballer Wayne Rooney has, unsurprisingly, never won a major tennis tournament!

9. What part of the body can go before the word "fault" to make the name of a real infringement encountered in tennis?

Answer: Foot

A foot fault is called if the server's foot steps on or over the baseline during his or her serve. Two consecutive foot faults causes the player to lose the point.

10. Point - Game - ? - Match. Which of the following should replace the question mark to complete the scoring system used in tennis?

Answer: Set

A player wins the set when he or she reaches six games, unless his or her opponent has won five games, in which case another game is played. If the leading player wins this game, they win the set 7-5, however if the trailing player wins this game, thereby making the score 6-6, a tie-breaker is played to determine the winner of the set.

In some tournaments, set tie-breaks are not used and players must keep playing until one of them wins two games in a row and leads the other player by two games to win the set.
