Answer to Puzzles
1. The receiver was winning by two sets to one but had lost the first game in the fourth set. Did you cotton onto the fact that the server won the last two points of a tie-break to win a set, then started serving first in the next set? He won that game 'to love'. For him to still be losing in the match, his opponent must have won the first two sets. Try this on your parents!
2. Who was it and in which year? Sue WELCH 1992. Return to the listing to check and tell me if you can find any more! Send an email me to info@roundhaytennis.org.uk and if correct your name will appear against the question. Check also the listings for the Handicap Tournament winners.
