6. In 1987, when _____ was nine, her father took her to watch a tournament at Filderstadt in Germany. The event coincided with Martina Navratilova's birthday, and _____'s father, a huge fan, managed to hand her a present. He had his daughter by his side and Navratilova asked the youngster if she played tennis. No, she'd never tried it. Navratilova said she looked athletic and ought to give it a whirl.
There the exchange might have ended had it not been for Navratilova's immense generosity of spirit. When she discovered that the family - who originally came from Slovakia - lived in ___X___, she phoned a friend there and arranged _____'s first tennis lesson. Later, she sent one of her rackets from America for _____ to use. And her instincts proved remarkably astute.

Nice attempts everyone! Here are the answers:
1. Luxor Hotel at Las Vegas.
2. A Potpourri :P :P
(Potpourri is a mixture of dried, naturally fragrant plant material, used to provide a gentle natural scent in houses. It is usually placed in a decorative wooden bowl, or tied in small bags made from sheer fabric. The origin of the word is French. In English, "potpourri" is often used to refer to any collection of miscellanious or diverse objects)
3. Brooklyn Decker (lucky Andy!!) and Mirka Federer, Wimbledon final.
4. Tushi does mean butt :P
5. Barbershop Quartet
(Came across the term while watching a Friends episode)
6. Mirka. The city X was Zurich. Here's the part of the paragraph I cut out:
"By 2000, Mirka was in the top 100 players in the world and in Switzerland's team for the Sydney Olympics. It was there that she met Federer.
A year later, Mirka was forced to retire because of a persistent foot injury, but Federer enjoys the story of her introduction to tennis. He likes the idea that it was Navratilova who, in a way, brought them together."
7. Nandan Nilekani.
