Arthurs was a month shy of his 34th birthday, becoming the oldest first-time winner since 1990.

3. Arthurs became the oldest first-time winner since the open era began. Whose record did he break?

Arthurs' streak of 109 consecutive service games held was at the time the second-longest streak in ATP history.

Answer: Andre Agassi

Agassi actually broke him four times on the way to winning the match 6-4, 6-1.

6. Whose record for most consecutive service games held did Arthurs approach, but fail to break in 2005?

Answer: Wayne Arthurs

Arthurs almost broke his own record of 111 consecutive service games held set in qualifying, and advancing to the fourth round of the 1999 Wimbledon Championship. Oddly enough, Andre Agassi ended that streak too.

7. At what tournament did Wayne Arthurs defeat Pete Sampras, giving Sampras the second-to-last loss of his career, before retiring after winning the U.S. Open in 2002?

Answer: Cincinnati Masters

Sampras' last defeat was at the hands of Frenchman Paul Henri Mathieu, the week before the U.S. Open.

8. Who did Arthurs lose to in the deciding rubber of the 2001 Davis Cup final?

Answer: Nicolas Escude

Arthurs stepped in fearlessly for the injured Pat Rafter. Despite losing in four sets, his willingness to step up for Australia made Arthurs a local hero.

9. How many Davis Cup champion teams did Wayne Arthurs play at least one rubber for over the course of the championship year?

Answer: 2

Although he did not play in the finals in 1999, he had stepped in with Sandon Stolle in earlier rounds in doubles. Arthurs teamed with Todd Woodbridge in 2003, winning 6-3, 6-1, and 6-3 in the finals to put Australia ahead 2-1.

10. What player that Arthurs beat in 2007, did he hold a 3-0 career record against, including 2-0 while that player was ranked in the top 10?

Answer: Tommy Robredo

Arthurs never lost to Robredo, including his win over him in the second round of Wimbledon. That win would turn out to be the last of Arthurs's journeyman career, as Jonas Bjorkman beat him in the next round to send the Aussie lefty into retirement.
