    Mr Manps can you please help on this spearmans question, it's causing quite a bit of debate. is it positive or negative, your mark scheme has it as positive.
    Positive according to the MS but negative is acceptable as well. Depends on the context of the explanation.

    Yeah but if you say rank the fastest first then the positive one would be correct, because look at the 'rank in world' number 1 is obv the fastest so that is number 1 rank is it not? this is really frustrating me!
    No not necessarily. If you look at the table, you'll see that some people have faster serves than some of the people above them. There's a really weak relation between the speed of serve and world rank position. That's why whether positive or negative value calculated, the value calculated will be close to 0

    What do you guys reckon the A* boundary this year will be ? 80 - A*?
    or do you think it will be more or less than last years?
    personally there were some random questions and terrible wording so any oppinions?
