[quote author=Ti-Amie link=1171433782/0#5 date=1171469091]I am new to reading about Challengers. I notice on menstennisforums they list singles, wooden spoon and doubles.

What is up with that? What is a wooden spoon?

It is player who looses in the first round to player who looses in 2nd round to 3rd looser and so on... Â*There is one (and only one) such player in every tournament. [/quote]

I knew it had to be bad. I know in other sports, I have heard the term and it is bad. Also, I was checking some of the wooden spoon recipients and they all lost in the first round. Lol! I thought it was simply the first person to lose in the event.
