I found someone with 9 tiebreaks but he was ranked 77th at the time

Hidalgo · 11-20-2012, 05:00 AM

nice question!)) he won top10 and lost to 500+
btw, FReak has sent correct answer on this question)

Hidalgo, I think I am right for question 1, but he was actually number 72 at that time. The player activity page incorrectly lists his rank as 71.

9. This tennis player has won the 8 matches on ATP tournaments, but on the grass only. He has reached SF on the home ATP tournament

I have to ask, does this mean he only won 8 career ATP singles matches and all of them were on grass. Or does it mean he's won 8 ATP singles match on grass? I can't find anyone to fit the former, but I have found 1 player to fit the latter, I don't see how it's possible to be the first one though that's he way it seems to me when I read it

I'm such a moron it took me this long to get the beat top 10 lose to 500+ question

I should have knew that without any searching

Hidalgo · 11-20-2012, 06:04 AM

1. He is N71 in ATP site. I have looked his Page of activity.
2. yes, all 8 career victories - on grass

Won their ATP title? Home tournament meaning country or hometown?

And for #1, 9 TBs in MD or MD+QD?

Hidalgo · 11-20-2012, 07:32 AM

there are no
questions with doubles answers here.
it is funny. do u know a lot of brothers who win ATP-level doubles events at home tournaments?))

156mphserve · 11-20-2012, 07:37 AM

Number 9 doesn't make sense

There's nobody who has won only 8 atp matches, but they're all on grass, and said player reached the semis of a home tournament.

I find 1 player who has won 8 matches on grass, made the semis of a home tournament, but has won a couple other matches on other surfaces

pretty sure it's hometown

I see what you mean about the 8 grass, that answer was the first that popped into my head, but I had some misleading information which lead me to believe it doesn't work for him, but I think I"ve got that sorted now

Nixer · 11-20-2012, 07:48 AM

Okay, then it's just 1 pair for hometown
