Answer: 87

Pete Sampras did not have his serve broken in all previous rounds of the U.S. Open tournament of 2001, before he played Lleyton, who won the coin toss and elected to receive! Sampras had held serve in 87 straight games, which included an unprecedented 'triple crown' of wins over past U.S. Open champions Patrick Rafter in the 4th Round (6-3, 6-2, 6-7, 6-4), then Andre Agassi in the Quarter-Final (6-7, 7-6, 7-6, 7-6), and Marat Safin in the semi-final (6-3, 7-6, 6-3).

7. Who was the opponent Lleyton played in the 2nd round of the 2001 U.S. Open, in which there was controversy over Lleyton's 'racist remarks'?

Answer: James Blake

Blake is black, and Lleyton made a comment about the linesman being black - which may or may or may not have been taken out of context. Lleyton won this 2nd round match against James Blake 6-4, 3-6, 2-6, 6-3, 6-0.

8. Who was the young, up and coming American star who Lleyton beat in the quarter final of the 2001 U.S Open?

9. Has Lleyton ever been in a grand slam singles Final before the 2001 U.S. Open?

10. Which country did Australia play in the quarter-finals of the 2001 Davis Cup?

Answer: Brazil

Lleyton played incredibly in the rubber to almost single-handedly win the tie for Australia against Brazil. He won both his singles matches: against Fernando Meligeni (6-3, 6-3, 6-3) and the then world No. 1 ranked player Gustavo Kuerten (7-6, 6-3, 7-6).
