101 Tennis Trivia Questions to Serve Up to the Biggest Fans

Ah, tennis. It’s the sport that everyone thinks they can pick up and play – until they try and fail miserably. That’s right; tennis isn’t as easy as it looks, and true tennis fans know that. The sport is far more than rich people playing in all-white outfits at their exclusive club. 

Some of the toughest, most impressive athletes in history were tennis players. It takes a lot of skill, coordination, and stamina to win a tennis match. 

That’s why it’s also understandable that some folks prefer to watch tennis rather than play it – and there’s always so much to watch. From the U.S. Open to the Australian Open, there are 64 tennis tournaments across 31 countries each year. 

That’s a lot of tennis – and it gives us plenty of information for our tennis quiz. With 101 tennis questions and answers, you’ll be able to put your fanhood to the test.
