PS: I'll be starting a new *simpler* game in about a week or so. Hopefully plenty of people will play! :)

Answer 1

Kei Nishikori will never be in the top 8. - True. Had a few good results but not very consistent and injury-prone.



Roger Federer will win 20 or more majors. - False. Even though he's no.1 now I think there's a large chance Wimbledon 2012 was his last :(



You only support your favourite player because they're successful. - True. I'm a Roger Federer fan and to be honest I can't imagine a world where Roger Federer wasn't succesful.



Paszek is better than her rank suggests. - True. She should be top 20. Maybe top 10 one day.



Timi Babos will be on TV before the end of the year. - True. She'll draw a top player eventually.



Olympic medals don't mean half as much as winning a major. - False. I think a gold medal means more. Makes you more admired by your county.



Nobody from Britain will win a singles major in the next 10 years. - True. Sorry, Andy Murray.



Four aces in a row is better than four return winners in a row. - True. 4 aces give a player confidence which will help them when they are returning serve.



Aga will beat Vika or Serena in 2012 *or* win a major in 2012. - True. She won't win the US Open but at one of the end of the year tournaments I think either Vika or Serena will be a little out of form, giving Aga one win over one of them.



Charleston was the worst tournament of the year so far. - False. Lots of top players. And it kind of marked the return of the dominating side of Serena Williams.



Tricky slices are more effective in men's tennis than women's tennis. - False. Men use slices more often, so if a woman used a tricky slice it would surprise the opponent more and be more effective.



Other than slams, you don't watch tennis. - False. Watch every tournament that I can. I'll even be watching the tournaments this week, even though there's no Federer, Djokovic, Nadal, or Murray.



Rankings in tennis fairly represent who the best players are. - True. (mostly) The exception is when a good player gets injured, takes time off and drops down in the rankings.



BQ: Players seem close with other players from their country, mainly because they know each other well from the Davis Cup. The Spanish men seem to be great friends. Apparently Murray and Nadal are rather good friends as well and spend a lot of time off court playing video games together.

Answer 7

Kei Nishikori will never be in the top 8. - FALSE

Roger Federer will win 20 or more majors. - FALSE

You only support your favourite player because they're successful. - FALSE

Paszek is better than her rank suggests. - FALSE

Timi Babos will be on TV before the end of the year. - TRUE (she'll be on some channel that shows small tournaments)

Olympic medals don't mean half as much as winning a major. - FALSE

Nobody from Britain will win a singles major in the next 10 years. - FALSE (Murray will win one)

Four aces in a row is better than four return winners in a row. - FALSE (it's harder to return)

Aga will beat Vika or Serena in 2012 *or* win a major in 2012. - TRUE

BQ: Agnieszka and her sister. :P

Janko, Novak and Viktor.

Verdasco and Lopez seem to be close.

Answer 8

Kei - True.

Roger - False.

Supporting favourite because of success - False. She was awful during 2009/2010.

Paszek - True.

Timi Babos - True

Olympic Medals - True. At the end of the day tennis isn't really an olympic sport, it's not athletics. Those guys train all their lives for medals, tennis players train for Grand Slams. Everyone is remembered for their major count, not whether or not they won gold.

Brit/major - False. I think Murray will. Before Wimbledon this year I had no doubt that he'd continue that trend, but he changed my mind here. If he can reach the final of Wimbledon (something that hasn't been done for years), then I'm sure he'll be able to get one eventually.

Return/Ace - False. It's much harder to hit 4 return winners IMO, you have to have great anticipation. You're not controlling the point, just reacting to it. Maybe on the WTA hitting four aces would be more impressive, as the majority of their serves are useless, but male players consistently ace each other.

Aga beating Vika/Serena/Major - False. I think she'll win a major in a year or two though.

Charleston - False.

Slices - False. Male players are more adapt to it.

Other than slams, you don't watch tennis - False.

Rankings represent who the best players are - False.

Olympic medals don't mean half as much as winning a major. - FALSE..I would be more happy to win Gold than to win a slam

Nobody from Britain will win a singles major in the next 10 years. - False . I hope Andy doesn't though. hopefully in 2022 some awesome young Brit will win

Four aces in a row is better than four return winners in a row. - True

Aga will beat Vika or Serena in 2012 *or* win a major in 2012. - False...sorry :) maybe next year? she could beat Serena though..she won't beat Vika any time soon

Charleston was the worst tournament of the year so far. - False..Chalreston had Stosur, Serena, Venus, and Zvonareva...I don't think the one that Vecino or Hsieh won conjured up that much talent ;)
