What are my plans for improving the program? ............................................................... 12 1 1. Introduction - What is the grand slam tennis program? The Grand Slam Tennis Program allows you to see how recent grand slam tennis champions would fair against champions from the past. You can choose from more than 90 former men's grand slam champions and more than 80 former Women's Champions. In addition, you can choose to play the tennis match at the Australian Open, U.S. Open, Wimbledon, or French Open. International tennis matches can also be played, with the option of choosing from many countries around the world. The program is perfect for simulating individual match ups or holding an entire tournament. This is not video graphic game. It is a statistical game based on each former tennis player’s historical success in playing major grand slam singles events. While some players have a higher probability of success, their performance in any particular tournament is still subject to the laws of random probability. For example, a player who has had major success in the French Open is likely to do well in the French Open, but could still lose to a player who has had less historical success in the French Open.

  • Tennis Palindromes
    TENNIS PALINDROMES ANIL JEFF GRANT Perth, Australia Hastings, New Zealand Disinterest in tennis should not prevent wordplay lovers from enjoying these personal palindromes (PDs). Jeff presented an article on palindromic names in the August 1996 Word Ways. A few were tennis players. Here we add to them a few more, and a very large list of palindromes incorporating tennis names, first or surname. We attempted all past #1s, slam winners, and May 2020 top 100s, often failing. There are four parts, alphabetical by surname within each part: 1. palindromic names; 2. reversals; 3. near reversals; 4. longer. For each player named we give country, active period and highest rank #; d if in doubles; wins in slams—Australian Open (A), Roland Garros (F), Wimbledon (W), US Open (U)—and year-end tour championships (T), Olympic gold (O), Fed Cups (FC), Davis Cups (DC) and Hopman Cups (HC). 1. Palindromic names Anna Blinkova [Russia, 2016-...; d#45] Kalinskaya [Russian, 2016-...; d#72; Nick Kyrgios’ latest girlfriend] Kournikova [Russia, 1995-2007; #8, d#1; d 2A] Schmiedlova [Slovakia, 2011-...; #26] Ana Bogdan [Romania, 2007-...; #59] Ivanovic [Serbia, 2003-16; #1; F 2016] Bob Bryan [US, 1998-...; d#1; 16d (6A, 2F, 3W, 5U), 4 mixed d (2F, W, U); 4d T; O, DC] (+ Mike Bryan, part 3.)
