3. FedCity - Game
• You are travelling with Fed as he visits 17 cities of
past glory, where he has won titles as a Junior, in
the Challenger Circuit & as a Senior Pro.
• Your job is to identify these 17 cities based on the
clues given, so that you know where you are going.
• Do note that the first letter of these 17 cities do
not repeat, for instance if one of the cities is
Muscat ( obviously never !! ) then M is done.

4. FedCity - Game
• Most importantly, there is a thread. We start from
Paris as City 1. City 2 will start with one of the
letters from PARIS. So it cannot be Muscat for
sure.
• City 3 will start from one of the letters of City 2
and so on and so forth till City 17.
• A hint – Wimbledon & London are two separate
locations for this game.
