David Nalbandian
Tomas Berdych
Guillermo Vilas
Mats Wilander

Henri Leconte
Nalbandian and Berdych have both reached the SF of every major and both of them are Wimbledon runner-upsWhat do these pairs of players have in common?

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.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.
Still no takers? Clue time, then.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?
Can I post three instead then?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.![]()
I really don't have the foggiest idea, but here's hoping that someone does.Still no takers? Clue time, then.
It was in Roland Garros, and the other guy was a multiple grand slam winner.
Last SIX years... discounting Roger Federer. Andy Murray.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)?

MAtch of Mikhail Youzhny played at Rod Laver Arena and a famous tweener was involved?Riddle me this: what famous match is foretold by this following historic manuscript/stone tablet?

I'll give it to you. Well done, sir.Dude, you gave me such little time. I did get the answer but the books will say I cheated.![]()
Good effort and along the right lines.MAtch of Mikhail Youzhny played at Rod Laver Arena and a famous tweener was involved?![]()
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... :?![]()

Wow you really distracted me with the "multiple grand slam winner"-thingStill no takers? Clue time, then.

Yeah, I really thought someone like Mustard would have gotten it right in like 30 seconds.I really don't have the foggiest idea, but here's hoping that someone does.![]()
Clue 3 is for Andy Roddick I think. Seann William scott and Roddick are look alike.Hum... clues 1 & 3 would seem to point to Agassi beating Kafelnikov in AO 2000.

Easy--MagicFab's the man, ie Santoro.Which tennis player did Marat Safin (aka talentGOAT) claim gave him the most issues on a tennis court?
Well done! (and bonus points for the vid, obviously)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
Actually, Marat had a change of heart reflecting on it at the end of his career.Easy--MagicFab's the man, ie Santoro.![]()
Petronas Twin towers => WTC => New York?![]()

Can you tell me why clues 1 and 3 collectively point to Agassi Kafelnikov?Hum... clues 1 & 3 would seem to point to Agassi beating Kafelnikov in AO 2000.

You might be right, I was lazy and went for the film's release date. With (Melbourne) Park for the 1st clue, of course. Hum...Clue 3 is for Andy Roddick I think. Seann William scott and him are look alike.
Good point, they do look alike. But alas, no it has nothing to do with Roddick. Actually that particular image is the most obscure and round-about clue of the bunch. However, the other three images alone are enough to find the answer.Clue 3 is for Andy Roddick I think. Seann William scott and Roddick are look alike.
Well, he only won in 2003, vs Ferrero. And it was in straights, so you might be right. No idea where Wallace & Gromit fit in, though.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.![]()
As I said in the post just below yours:Can you tell me why clues 1 and 3 collectively point to Agassi Kafelnikov?
bold: very good.
AO 05 Federer-Safin SF confirmed. That missed tweener. 8)Riddle me this: what famous match is foretold by this following historic manuscript/stone tablet?

Ding ding ding!AO 05 SF confirmed. That missed tweener. 8)
Got it (I think).Look deeper into the soul of Wallace and Gromit. What do you see?
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?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?
Indeed. Clay animation. I too think this is the answer.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:
It has a number in it: 0250.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?
Okay that was a novice level mistake. Won't happen in the future.It has a number in it: 0250.
Whoaaaa there. Tell me how you came to the conclusion that it must be that match, if you would.Got it (I think).

True. I'll make some for later, for sure.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.
And better keep the questions related to post 2004 tennis . I started watching Tennis in 2005.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.
That's next level thinking and a very creative and abstract thought process. Though, it probably makes less annoying and more logical sense than the point of image clue #3.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![]()
Clay - twin towers - straights.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.![]()
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.And better keep the questions related to post 2004 tennis . I started watching Tennis in 2005.![]()
It does not need to be a puzzle related to just guessing a Tennis match. We can mix it up.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.
LOL!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:

Go ahead. What exactly were you thinking?It does not need to be a puzzle related to just guessing a Tennis match. We can mix it up.
