A tennis quiz question has gone viral for being utterly ridiculous, prompting reaction from baffled Tennis fans and players alike.
The multi-choice question was from the United States version of ‘Who Wants A Millionaire?’, with this particular episode airing on 14 March 2021.
But over a year on and it’s still causing a stir. Contestant Kyle Shaules, a registered nurse, was asked, “Which of these tennis greats once won the Australian Open while roughly eight weeks pregnant?”
It was just his second question of the show and there were $200 dollars up for grabs. But it may well be the easiest $200 dollars he made given the answers were Andy Murray, Serena Williams, Roger Federer, and John McEnroe.
They are four of the very best and biggest names in the sport but with 23-time Grand Slam winner Williams being the only female, it didn’t take a genius to work out the answer.
Of course Kyle went for ‘B’ and moved on to the third question. 2013 Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli was left in utter stitches over the question and took to Twitter to express her hilarity.
She wrote, “I mean…..” with a slew of laughing emojis, as well as tagging all four tennis players.
Indian tennis player Sania Mirza also weighed in and replied, “Tough one” with a couple of laughing emojis.
But fans were genuinely staggered as to how this was a genuine question on one of the biggest shows.
One joked: “Toughest question of all time!”
A second said: “I haven’t laughed this hard in a while. 50/50 please.”
A third commented: “No effing way was that a question????”
A fourth said: “That’s tough. Better go with a lifeline!”
A fifth added: “Was this really the question or a screenshot trick?”
A sixth stated: “I am done. What the heck were they thinking when they put that together.”
The questions did get harder for Kyle but he went on to win $64,000, deciding to not risk the money on the 12th question.

Tennis legend Serena Williams humiliated five men at the same time as they collectively failed to score a single point against her.
A video surfaced online of the tennis superstar playing against men who simply cannot compete on the same level as her.
Williams served against one man first, who was left helpless in trying to return the serve.
After he lost the point, the man could be heard saying, “She put some spin on it and it was further out here than I was ready for.”

The 23-time Grand Slam winner then took on two men and scored another ace.
And a third man wasn’t enough to stop the American as she fired another ace past them.
Williams continued to tear apart the men when she hit a powerful shot that connected with one bloke’s leg and he subsequently crumpled to the floor in agony.
The men had better luck when there were five of them after successfully returning one of her serves.
But the former tennis world No 1 smashed the ball into the back of the same man who had been hit on the leg.

“I especially like how she is using like 20 per cent of her power to not make them all look like children,” one fan said.
Someone else commented: “Serena makes it look sooo easy!”
“Serena has some serious accuracy. Impressive,” a third added.
While a fourth posted: “Serena makes it look so easy that it’s almost not as exciting.”
Williams’ complete demolition of the men followed on from a YouGov poll that had one in eight blokes thinking they could take a point against her.
