Q for all Tennis/ Wimbledon fans.....?

Question

I love Wimbledon, but I'm confused: why is it that when Ana Ivanovitch, the most un-deserving World No.1 I've ever seen in my life by the way, was playing Nathalie Dechy the other day, did the match finish something like 10-8? I thought that once they got to 7 all, they had to play a tie-break as they couldn't go above 7 matches?? Can anyone help? Y did it keep going and not go to the tie-break?

(Nadal & Venuz for this yrs Champs!!!)

Answer 1

well.. at wimbledon they make u play it out in the final set.. no tie breaks

Answer 2

when it gets to 6 all in all sets it goes to tiebreak. In the deciding set (3rd set for women and 5th set for men) they do not play a tiebreak. You keep playing and you have to win by two games.

Answer 3

You have no idea what the rules are and you are commenting on who deserves to be # 1.

unfreaking bealivable lol

Answer 4

Righteous Revolution - this was not what happens, and for u to assume this shows that u dnt reli know nething about tennis. Also hours b4 u wrote ur comment Sharapova was knocked out in 2 sets. Keep up to date b4 u start pretending u know what ur talking about - bad TV channel isn't an excuse. There's internet, teletext ect, - don't comment until u know what ur talking about!

As many have alredi mantioned, at wimbledon the deciding set is always playyed out until 1 person leads by 2 games.

Also I think Ivanovic is a deserving #1.

She's powerful, consistent, and mentally brilliant.

In a way she's similar to sharapova but her ground strokes are overall far better.

Who else is there who cud be #1 - Venuz is inconsistent she barely plays, and she only turns up for wimbledon - Serena same problem (doesn't play enough) - Sharapova is consistently a topp performer, but she hasn't been as sucessful as Ana recently - Jankovic could soon challenge the spot, but her performances in majors havn't been fantastic.

I also feel its unfair for u to sey she doesn't deserve to be #1, if u don't understand the rules.

Just remember AT WIMBLEDON THE DECIDING SET IS ALWAYS PLAAYED OUT UNTIL SOMEONE LEADS BY 2 GAMES.

The fact that u didn't relaise that this is just a rule of wimbledon following u seeing the result seems a bit stupid.

Answer 5

It most likely was 6-6, and they went to a tie breaker, which resulted in the 10-8 points (b/c you have to win by two.)

I unfortunately was not able to see Wimbledon :'( that channel on out TV isn't that great.

btw, I think Sharapova deserves #1 spot, and she's gonna get it soon.

Djokovic and Sharapova for Wimbledon!!

Answer 6

Are you crazy?Why do you think she is undeserving?She won french open lol! She isn't the favourite at any grandslam but she will assert her authority......she need's time....

Answer 7

wimbledon rule: in the final set for women (3rd set) and for men (5th set) no tiebreak and win by 2 games

it's just a rule...
