Didn't update the tallest player to win a slam though. There are 3 tied for tallest and any one of them should be accepted. I re-treid and put in Cilic and Medvedev and neither was accepted

Honestly, I would replace "weeks at No 1" with "most Grand Slams won in 2010s", since the number of weeks at No 1 will be outdated very next week, and the omission of the 2010s Grand Slams question, considering all the other decades are there, seems a little weird...

The actual number of weeks will be different but the answer will be the same until (and if) someone surpasses him, which won't happen for years to come.

Really good quiz. Btw there’s a spelling error near the beginning “ specificied”. I would love to see a Women’s equivalent quiz as well.

Surprising that Becker didn't do anything superlative enough to get himself onto this quiz. I thought he would have been the youngest something.

Tried Nicholas Mahut for most aces knowing it had to be his famous opponent whose name of course refused to come to me...

@QM - perhaps in a future update Mahut's record for most points in a match (502) could be a nice counterpart to the Isner stat
