About this Raddle

A tennis match is made up of points, games, and sets. In Grand Slam events, a match is decided according to either best-of-three or best-of-five format, the latter being usually used only for men’s singles matches. The longest match in Grand Slam history was played by John Isner and Micolas Mahut in the first round of 2010 Wimbledon, lasted 11 hours and 5 minutes and was played over the course of 3 days.

Theme: US Open

The US Open starts this week, so let's celebrate it with some tennis-based Raddles.
