OK I had to do a google search for the second and third pairs.
Both lost in 1 Wimbledon final, their only finals appearance.
Both never won Wimbledon but won the three other Slams.
Both lost in one sole Roland Garros final in straight sets.
Another one about Lendl: he once played a GS semi-final in tracksuit pants because it was chilly. When and where was it, who was his opponent, and what was the score?
Dont post 2 questions simultaneously. Marketing strategy gone wrong. 8) Just had lunch. So was not here. Now give me some time to figure out.![]()
Still no takers? Clue time, then.
It was in Roland Garros, and the other guy was a multiple grand slam winner.
Question: what is the name of the player who handed Nadal two bakery products (and allowed him only 17 points total in the match) in a final within the last 6 years (2008 onward)?
Last SIX years... discounting Roger Federer. Andy Murray.
Riddle me this: what famous match is foretold by this following historic manuscript/stone tablet?

Dude, you gave me such little time. I did get the answer but the books will say I cheated.![]()
MAtch of Mikhail Youzhny played at Rod Laver Arena and a famous tweener was involved?![]()

I really don't have the foggiest idea, but here's hoping that someone does.![]()
Hum... clues 1 & 3 would seem to point to Agassi beating Kafelnikov in AO 2000. Not sure about the others, though--the Kuala Lumpur Petronas Towers don't really fit, and Andre won in four sets, ie not in straights(jacket). Some more digging required, I supose... :?
Which tennis player did Marat Safin (aka talentGOAT) claim gave him the most issues on a tennis court?
Wow you really distracted me with the "multiple grand slam winner"-thing
it was against kriek in 1986, 6-2, 6-1, 6-0
even found a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhCADuhUvIs
Easy--MagicFab's the man, ie Santoro.![]()

Clue 3 is for Andy Roddick I think. Seann William scott and him are look alike.

Petronas Twin towers => WTC => New York?
SOme straight set USO victory of Andy roddick?
That is why you should not post two riddles simultaneously. I am messed up.![]()
Can you tell me why clues 1 and 3 collectively point to Agassi Kafelnikov?
bold: very good.

AO 05 SF confirmed. That missed tweener. 8)
Look deeper into the soul of Wallace and Gromit. What do you see?
Ding ding ding!
Well played, confirmed indeed.
Did you glean the year from the clues or did you just guess using less than all four images?
Got it (I think).
US Open 1975, Connors def Orantes
Out of the three US Open played on clay (W&G), this was the sole straight-sets win in the final.
No clue about the car, though! :mrgreen:
Russian involved in a famous Tweener at Rod laver arena. It had to be this. Though I didn't get what that the picture of Eyeglass meant. That was taken from an album of ROd Stewart?
It has a number in it: 0250.
Got it (I think).

Okay that was a novice level mistake. Won't happen in the future.We should post these type of riddles mainly in the prime time. So we get to see more participation.
True. I'll make some for later, for sure.
These are my first two attempts so the next ones will hopefully be a bit more distinctive and accurate, if you know what I'm saying.
haha, I was thinking of "stop motion" when I saw the wallace & gromit picture and immediately thought of a serve and volley-final of two towers (huge players) in wimbledon...couldn't think of one though![]()
Whoaaaa there. Tell me how you came to the conclusion that it must be that match, if you would.
There have been various straight set victories in Grand Slam finals held on clay over the years.
Very well done on finding the 'soul' of Wallace and Gromit.![]()
And better keep the questions related to post 2004 tennis . I started watching Tennis in 2005.![]()
I'll make a few by decade. That way I can narrow it down a bit time-frame wise but at the same time get more creative with the clues. I can state from the beginning which decade the match belongs to.
Clay - twin towers - straights.
Also, for the other clue, there's a vid of Dude... on YouTube posted by someone called Willie Orantes, so there you go! :mrgreen:

It does not need to be a puzzle related to just guessing a Tennis match. We can mix it up.
