Welcome to the first-ever "Tennis Week"! All week long, the show's teaming up with Tennis Channel to help give away trips to some big name tournaments around the world. So, let's see if any of our contestants can "serve" up an ace.
Instead of an animated intro for all this week, tennis pros Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic appear on our screens to introduce themselves. Djokovic then introduces the name of this theme week.
$1,000 Tossup - PHRASE
_ _ _ E / S E _
_ _ _ / _ A _ _ H
Lisa solves GAME, SET AND MATCH. Tonight's players...

Jackpot Round - PROPER NAME
The maingame categories this week are revealed by a tennis ball dropping onto a green background.
Randy picks up the Tennis.com gift tag with two S's. He dominates...

Round 2 - FUN AND GAMES (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Randy immediately BANKRUPTS. Lisa gets going with three T's, but she then wastes her turn by buying that same letter as a vowel (that's a rare mistake). Katie then BANKRUPTS so we get back to Randy. He does some work before missing with the S. Lisa BANKRUPTS to the left of the MDW and loses $1,250. Katie BANKRUPTS again and loses $2,000. Towards the end, Randy hits LAT. That allows Lisa to solve...
