Question

what do grand slams mean. Did Ana Ivanovic take part in Wimbledon and if not why and if so who put her out. Is Tim Henman retired. What does it mean when you get 2 or 3 break/set/match points.

Answer 1

Are you kidding right ? lol If not well here ya go

The four Grand Slam tournaments are the most important tennis events of the year in terms of world ranking points, tradition, prize-money awarded, and public attention they are French Open, Wimbledon, US Open, Austrailian Open.

Grand Slams..... In tennis, a singles player or doubles team that wins all four Grand Slam titles in the same year is said to have achieved the Grand Slam or a Calendar Year Grand Slam. If the player or team wins all four consecutively, but not in the same calendar year, it is called a Non-Calendar Year Grand Slam. If a player wins all four at some point in his or her career, even if not consecutively, it is called a Career Grand Slam. Winning three of the four tournaments is called a Small Slam.

Ana Ivanovic did participate at this years wimbledon however she failed to live up to her #1 postion by losing to Chinese wildcard Zheng Jie in the third round on Friday. She lost 6-1 6-4.

And yes Mr Tim Henman is retired aha ! However he is now commentating for the bbc lol Jeez he is soooo annoying..... You get him out of tennis and now he`s in the background commentating and talking rubbish. !

Answer 2

A grand slam is a major tennis event, there are 4 per annum, which are the Australian open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US open.  

Ivanovic did take part in Wimbledon,  I think she lost in th quarter final. Tim Henman did retire.

And - a game of tennis is split into games, sets and finally a match.  For a player to win a set he/she must win 6 games before their opponent. Its expected for the player serving to win a game. A break point is when the player who is not serving has won more points in the game than the server, and has a chance to win the game. In a grand slam event a male player must win 3 sets to win the match, a female must win 2 sets to win the match. In non grand slam events a male player only needs to win 2 sets to win a match.
