8/10 and could have done worse, tennis is definitely not my forte 😅 Had no idea about the stabbing or Roland Garros, and spent quite some time deciding between set and match too

Missed the same two. And I was making good time through the top half, then things got tougher.

Wow. 3968 and my second worst score ever. I guess I'm just not a tennis person

Tennis in general, I think

The word 'run' seems to have far more definitions than 'set'.

Level 61

From memory (probably not that accurate) in the OED "run" has 464 definitions, whereas "set" has well over 500. Not that I cam remember where I saw that

The English word with the most definitions is "run," which has 645 meanings as a verb alone. It has surpassed the word "set," which was once considered the word with the most definitions but now has fewer in newer editions of the dictionary.

Of the ones I didn't know, the 3 times I took A (1, 4 & 10) it was wrong, the 2 times I didn't (6 & 7) it would have been right. The others I knew so 5/10.

Thought it might be difficult when I saw the three at the top of my leaderboard who are regulars for the 10, only got 8. Thought it would be more obscure than tennis.

Wow, got two blind guesses correct. Missed the set question, though.

I’m utterly amazed that Roland Garros was on here. He is featured in a lesson I did on WWI aviators just a couple weeks ago. Early on in the war, he was credited with the first aerial victory. A newspaper said famous flyer Garros flew into a zeppelin! Garros came forward, though, pointing out the story was false and he was still alive. However, he decided he wanted a machine gun mounted to his plane so that he COULD get the first aerial kill. While not the absolute first (tandem pilots and rear gunners already had kills), he was the first pilot to get a kill—with a forward mounted machine gun (using deflector plates on his propellers to keep from shooting his own propellers off!).

Now I'm annoyed. I KNEW that story and still failed the question.

But it's a really cool story so I can't stay annoyed for long

That's the only one I missed, now I'm compelled to do a little research.

After the quiz I googled 'why is the french open venue named after Roland Garros'.....very cool fellow but he had nothing to do with tennis per se.

You got 9 of 10 correct.

Chose wrongly for the most definitions question.

I knew #1, realized the tennis theme after that. I've played & followed tennis since I was 6...educated elimination on Q4, 'A' guess on the Bjorn Borg Q, missed who roland garros was

I almost guessed pilot for Q10. I grew up playing tennis as well. Still watch the grand slams...

I'm drunk and know nothing about tennis, yet thanks to my gin-tuition a couple lucky guesses got my a 9/10

Level 64
Oct 15, 2025
3/10 and equaled 7% of test takers--I got astronomy, linguistics, and Star Trek (I've got no idea what the Borg have to do with tennis though--maybe they like it). Gotta love a good sports theme; for me it's like Superman eating Kryptonite Loops for breakfast!

Bjorn Borg? Swedish tennis star.

there was a tennis player bjorn borg

A "star" is a "star" I guess. I don't know the name of a single tennis player. Or a single Swedish person. Except for my neighbor growing up Ken Lundmark who did Olympic track and field for Sweden in the 70s, and I was friends with his kids, had sleepovers at his house. He was tall. He's got a wikipedia page now!

Anyway I like imagining the Borg playing tennis and the one-on-one competition messing with their collective. Much better than Hugh.

8/10, but that was only because I got two lucky guesses

Hell yeah, 4th 10/10 in a row, again with a few difficult ones I had to really think through. Feeling good!

Considering I know absolutely nothing about tennis, it's amazing I got 9/10. Should have known that it couldn't be as simple as 15, 30, 45.

6/10 Not my best category

Level 28
Oct 15, 2025
I'm always astonished at how I struggle to average 6/10 and how well you all do and I finally get 8. I guess sports and star trek are my specialty lol

I love to go back to first questions and have a good laugh at how they relate to the overall theme. :D

Venus, yes, not bad :). By the way, those who answered Mercury should be ashamed... it has about NO atmosphere at all.

3/10, the only one that I actually new was #1, overall pretty good for today's topic and my knowledge set! :D
+2
Level 55
Oct 15, 2025
4/10. I know basically nothing about tennis, pretty much only got the ones that took knowledge outside of tennis.

I frankly wonder why this one was tough for many and absolutely not for me. Weird sometimes.

Beat or equaled 55% and only got 5 right. Wow.

2 right, then 7 wrong, then 1 right.

I had genuinely no clue for nearly all of them...

9/10 for me! Failed on Roland Garros! Not a war person me! Still good score for me!
