A few more hopefully if it’s just the two of us you still want too?

Sure. I would wish you good luck, but history shows I need it a lot more

45 minutes left. Halftime would be a good chance to put your entry together.

Yay we already have at least one correct answer for questions 1-4 (and 5 too!)

And something to keep in mind this year is the change in SHEEP scoring. Last year if there were only 1 or 2 correct answers, then that question wouldn't create much movement as the SHEEP would be very low. But this year with the potential for incorrect SHEEPS, getting the answer right on a hard question could be worth a lot if there is a big incorrect SHEEP.

Haven't really paid any attention to tennis in the last 6 months. I think it's going to show!

I never pay attention to tennis!

Well, Wimbledon and the French Open. But that's it.

Alright, let's get started. Last year True North finished with a 14/16 score, including getting the first 6 questions correct. Let's see if anybody can make it through the first 4 questions with a perfect score this year.

Question #1

1) MENS: Pick a player that will win and not have their serve broken in their first round match

INCORRECT ANSWERS

The most popular incorrect, which also tied for the SHEEP was taken by 3 of you. He gave up 2 breaks and 1 set, making him correct for #2, but not for this one.

Every other incorrect was only taken by a single person

Gave up 7 breaks in his 4 set loss

Spoiler:

Gave up 5 breaks in his 4 set victory

Spoiler:

Gave up 4 breaks in his 5 set loss

Spoiler:

Gave up 4 breaks in his 3 set win

Spoiler:

Gave up 3 breaks in his 4 set victory

Spoiler:

My answer saved 12 out of his 14 break points, but unfortunately gave up a pair in his 3 set win

Spoiler:

And our last incorrect made it all the way to 6-1 6-3 3-1 in the 3rd set before double faulting on 30-30 and then losing the 30-40 point to give up his only break of the match. He'd win in the 3rd set tiebreaker, but that is little consolation for this question.

CORRECT ANSWERS

Our other SHEEP, this time a correct answer, was picked by 3 of you. In his 3 set demolition over the not good Novak, Dennis Novak, this player had one shaky game in the 2nd set where he had 2 double faults to go down 15-40. But he railed off the next 4 points and those were the first and last break chances of the match.

Next two answers were taken by 2 of you each.

He faced 5 break points but saved them all.

Spoiler:

Of all the correct answers, this player saved the most break chances, 6, to hold all of his service games. Very clutch for these 2 entrants.

And we close with a single ace. This player is a high risk / high reward choice. While he has the serve to easily make it through a match without giving his opponent any chances to break, he also is on high alert to throw away a service game or an entire match for no reason at all.

But for the first round at least we got the best version of this player, who gave his opponent only 2 chances to break and cleaned them both us pretty easily.

Our first ace goes to...

Out of interest, if someone won 6-0 6-0 6-7 6-0 and held every regular service game in the third but started with serve in the tie break, what happens?
