Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Kei Nishikori

In the 2014 US Open Kei Nishikori had an outstanding tournament as he eliminated both Stan Wawrinka and Novak Djokovic on his path to the finals. In the 2015 tournament he lost in the first round to Benoit Paire in a grueling five set match.

Answer: Marin Cilic

Cilic had a challenging five set quarterfinal match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga that likely affected his performance in the next match. In the semifinals he was dominated as he lost 0-6, 1-6, 2-6. Cilic led the tournament in aces with 115 during his six matches.

Answer: Donald Young

This was the second time that Donald Young had reached the fourth round of the US Open having done so in 2011. John Isner, seeded 13, was the highest seeded player from the United States and he also lost in the fourth round. The other unseeded player that made it to the fourth round was Benoit Paire who lost to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in straight sets.

Answer: Kevin Anderson

Kevin Anderson used his strong service game to outlast Andy Murray but he lost in straight sets to Stan Wawrinka in the quarterfinals match. Prior to his fourth round exit in 2015 Murray had made it to at least the quarterfinals of the US Open four straight years and he won the event in 2012.

Answer: Fabio Fognini

After Fognini's upset of Nadal in the third round he lost his next match to Feliciano Lopez in straight sets. Fognini is also an accomplished doubles player as he won his first Grand Slam doubles event at the 2015 Australian Open with teammate Simone Bolelli.

Answer: Federer did not lose a set in his first six matches.

At 34 years old, Roger Federer dominated his first six matches of the 2015 US Open, as he won every set and only one player even won five games in a set against him. Djokovic had his serve broken in the two sets that he lost on his path to the finals.

7. In spite of a fall early in the match Novak Djokovic was able to beat Roger Federer in the final of the 2015 US Open.

Answer: True

Djokovic was the more consistent player during the final as Roger Federer had numerous unforced errors when hitting forehand shots. The win was Djokovic's second US Open title and his 10th career Grand Slam title. Incredibly Djokovic won three Grand Slam events in 2015 and made it to the final of the French Open (lost to Stan Wawrinka).

8. While this player may not have won the 2015 US Open, he did have the fastest serve of the tournament. Who was this Canadian player who hit a serve in play at 147 miles per hour?

Answer: Milos Raonic

Milos Raonic's serve was six miles per hour faster than any other player's serve at the tournament. In spite of his overpowering serve Raonic lost in the third round to Feliciano Lopez.

9. The draw of the 2015 US Open had six of the 32 seeded players represented by one country. What was this country, that may be better known in sports for its real powerful soccer clubs?

Answer: Spain

The seeded players from Spain at the 2015 US Open included David Ferrer, Rafael Nadal, Feliciano Lopez, Roberto Bautista Agut, Tommy Robredo, and Guillermo Garc�a-L�pez. The second-most represented country by players seeded at the tournament was France with five individuals.

Answer: 0

A qualifier by definition does not have a high enough ranking to make the tournament and thus must finish high enough in a pre-tournament competition to make the event. These qualifiers are lower-ranked than their opponents in Grand Slam events and are almost always underdogs. Only four qualifiers made it past the first round of the tournament and none of these players made it to the third round.
