Here’s the next contest. First correct answer = Wall of Fame listing.
Posted by tennisplanet on November 26, 2008
It’s two-part question:
1. Who (ATP) won 27 titles in one year – an open era record – combination of both singles and doubles titles?
2. How many singles and how many doubles?
So your answer will look like this:
1. Del Potro.
2. 12 singles and 15 doubles.
Geeeezzzz. Now remember the day care center will be serving sweets to all toddlers on Thanksgiving.

Hmm… Martina Navratilova has won 32 titles in 1983 (16 singles/ 16 doubles/ plus who knows how many mixed doubles…) Were you asking about men?
Adrian said
I thought Martina Navratilova had the record winning 16 singles and 13 doubles for a total of 29 titles in 1983.

You are asking about men only, right ?
Because Martina Navratilova won 29 titles (singles + doubles) twice, in 1982 and 1983.
Stella said
That Martina I suggested in my earlier post was of course Navratilova and not the later version of “Martina “Hingis

I’m with you Deep South Girl – I gave up looking for the answer!

Not Del Potro – only has around 8 career titles!
claire said
Oops, Just Me, I see where you got your answer, TP’s example! Ha Ha 🙂

JT said
John McEnroe in 1979
12 singles (10 listed by the ATP and two invitational)
15 doubles
JT said
Actually, I just checked and there seems to be a discrepancy. He may have won 17 doubles that year so 27 are listed by the ATP. So he actually won 29 titles: 12 singles and 17 doubles
zihwye said
Heh i think the Rafa answer is correct?
Cuz TP said, 27 titles (therefore, martina navratilova won too many to be the answer for this qn)?
Stella said
Mc Enroe
10 singles 17 doubles
bunnee said
