I agree, if the other player double faults every time. - Stadt, Jun 27, 2011
Very well done Ian. - Eddy, Jun 27, 2011

1 service stroke. Then the other player is injured and concedes the set.

I probably wasn't specific enough but I wanted a full set played. Good answer though. - Eddy, Jun 27, 2011
Yes, I assumed it was only the set, not the match, or it could be conceeded before any strokes. - Stadt, Jun 27, 2011
Just thinking along your lines it could be one less, 0. The opposing player trips on his way out and breaks his wrist. He then concedes the set along with the match. - Eddy, Jun 27, 2011

Just heard that the Williams sisters have been knocked out at Wimbledon and Murray has got through in case any ones interested.

You mean "Scotland the Brave" of course Ken. Well done though. He is in with a chance to break the winless run since 1936 by a Brit. - ian-hill, Jun 27, 2011
If he wins he's British. If he loses he's a Scot. - Eddy, Jun 27, 2011
well I didn't realise that it was that long since Perry won it was the year of my birth. - kenwilliams, Jun 29, 2011
