Cilic v Nishikori: Quiz time

[Mainad]

Okay guys, Monday's US Open final between Marin Cilic and Kei Nishikori has broken a few records. Who can be the first to tell me:

1. When was the last time a Grand Slam final was contested between 2 players neither of whom had been in a Grand Slam final before?

2. When was the last time a Grand Slam final was contested between 2 players neither of whom were named Federer, Nadal, Djokovic or Murray?

3. When was the last time 2 first time finalists contested the US Open final?

4. When was the last time 2 finalists not named Federer, Nadal, Djokovic or Murray contested the US Open final?


See if you can work it out without having to to google!

On your marks....go!
