In the 2010 Wimbledon Championships, John Isner from the United States and Nicolas Mahut from France played a first-round tennis match that became the longest match in tennis history. (The match stretched over a 3 -day period with Isner winning 70-68 in the fifth set.) In 2011 , after a random draw, the two men met again in the first round of Wimbledon. This is highly improbable. If there are 128 men in the tournament, estimate the probability that a. Isner and Mahut would meet in the first round at Wimbledon in any given year. Assume that any player can play any other player in the first round (that is, disregard the fact that seeded players do not play one another in the first round). b. Isner and Mahut would meet in the first round 2 yr in a row.
