Sports Records and History

Billie Jean King, along with Martina Navratilova, holds the record for most Wimbledon titles overall (singles, doubles, and mixed doubles combined) with 20 titles. Martina Navratilova also had 20 Wimbledon titles, making them co-record holders.

Justine Henin, the Belgian tennis player, won 7 Grand Slam singles titles including 4 French Open, 1 Australian Open, and 2 US Open. She reached the Wimbledon final twice but never won it, making Wimbledon the only Grand Slam singles title that eluded her before her retirement.

Wimbledon began displaying full player names (both first and last) on scoreboards in 2009, replacing the traditional format of surname only. This change was made to help spectators and TV viewers identify players more easily. Option C correctly identifies 2009 as the year this change was implemented.

The Wimbledon Gentlemen's Singles champion cup is officially inscribed with 'The All England Lawn Tennis Club Single Handed Champion of the World' - this is the exact text engraved on the trophy awarded to the winner. The other options are incomplete or incorrect versions of this inscription.

Roland Garros is the famous tennis stadium in Paris, France, where the French Open (one of tennis's four Grand Slam events) is played annually. The other options are other Grand Slam tournaments played at different locations.

Justine Henin returned to the 2010 French Open after retirement but lost in the fourth round to Samantha Stosur of Australia. Stosur went on to reach the final where she lost to Francesca Schiavone.

Nadal first won Roland Garros (French Open) in 2005, then won consecutively in 2006, 2007, and 2008. He missed the 2009 tournament due to injury, then won again in 2010. This makes it his 5th win in six years (2005-2010) at the French Open. The question specifically asks about his Roland Garros record, not his titles that year (4th) or total career titles (40th).

Nadal had lost the world number one ranking in 2009 due to knee injuries and missing tournaments. His victory at the 2010 French Open, combined with Roger Federer's early exit, allowed Nadal to reclaim the ATP number one ranking he had previously held.

Both Francesca Schiavone (who won the 2010 French Open women's singles) and Samantha Stosur (the runner-up) were indeed appearing in their first Grand Slam final. Schiavone became the first Italian woman to win a Grand Slam singles title, and Stosur was competing for her first major championship.

Samantha Stosur, an Australian player, is known for preferring hard courts, which is the predominant surface in Australia and the US. However, ironically, her best Grand Slam results came at the French Open on clay, including reaching the 2010 final. The question correctly identifies hard court as her favorite surface despite her clay court success.

The Williams sisters (Venus and Serena) won their 12th Grand Slam doubles title and their 2nd French Open doubles title with this victory. They had previously won the French Open doubles in 1999. The 2010 win was their second Roland Garros doubles championship.

This statement is false. Lukáš Dlouhý and Leander Paes were the defending champions in 2010, but they did NOT win the final - they lost to Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjić. The question tests knowledge of who actually won the 2010 French Open men's doubles championship.

Rafael Nadal defeated Robin Söderling 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 in the 2010 French Open final. This was Nadal's 5th French Open title and his revenge for the previous year's loss to Söderling.

Björn Borg won the French Open four times (1974-75, 1978-81) without dropping a set, a record that stood until Nadal tied it in 2008. This makes Borg the correct answer for the record holder Nadal tied.
