Once again, a different sort of game. Only four questions this time, one for each surface. Take each player's winning percentage on each surface. Bedanova, for instance, had a record of 2-5 on clay, for a winning % of 28.6%. Take the Top 30 and list their winning percentages on each surface. Now here is the trick. For each surface, I'll give you eight names. Five of them are the Top Five in winning percentage on the surface, one of them is Top Ten but *not* Top Five, and two of them are not Top Ten. One of the latter two stands *last* among the Top Thirty in standing on the particular surface. So your task is to separate them. List the #1 player on the surface, the other four Top Five players, the player who is Top Ten but not Top Five, the one who is not Top Ten but not last, and the one who is last. Points are pyramided: For each surface, answer one part correctly, and you get 1 point. Answer two, and you get 1+2=3. Answer three, and you get 1+2+3=6. If you answer four, then of course you've actually answered them all, so you get 1+2+3+4=10.
