1. A tree diagram can be:
 

 

 

 

                                                                                                         VISHY

                                                         1st game                                                                            2nd game

 

                                    W   W   W   W   W   D   D   D   L   L                                     W   W   W   W   W   D   D   D   L   L

 

 

 

 

 

2. The probability that Vishi will win both games is \(\frac{5}{10}\cdot\frac{5}{10}\), which is \(\frac{25}{100}\), which simplifies to \(\frac{1}{4}\)
