I've got some doubts about the question setter's accuracy!

1. 'Roche lobe' isn't a specific place
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roche_lobe

2. It was Robert Meres, rather than Robert Greene, who called Shakespeare "mellifluous and hony-tongued" and compared his comedies and tragedies with those of Plautus and Seneca in excellence:

(A question-setter scanning that paragraph though might well see Greene's name in there)

At least Q7 looks to be OK though, with Francis Galton being the required answer:

There's no problem with Q8 either: Mitch Miller

Q4 is simple enough too: The UEFA Intertoto Cup:

From Wikipedia,

"This led to each of the four grand slam events having four different final-set scoring systems. This ended in March 2022, when the ATP, WTA, and ITF announced that final-set tiebreaks in all Grand Slams will have a 10-point tiebreak when the set reaches six games all (6–6)."

They all have tie-breaks in each set.

[Buenchico]

^^^ TCL's quote seems to refer only to the final sets of competitions, whereas the question (as I read it) asks which grand slam event uses tie breaks for every set.

[Buenchico]

^^^ I'm less confident now though!

(I've got a feeling that the question setter wants 'Flushing Meadows' as the answer but I've got very little confidence in his/her ability to ask decent questions and, with this one at least, even less confidence in my ability to find an answer!)

thank you Buenchico i have wrote them down as they are written although the setter is known for making mistakes i thank you for the help you have given

CHRIS, at Wimbledon for example, there were tie-breaks in all sets apart from the final set but following the 2022 decision, all sets now have tie-breaks.

All Grand-Slam tournaments have tie-breaks in all the sets now.
