I like the quiz. Only got 39 out of 52 though. Andy Murray is definitely on his way to cementing his name in tennis history. Two grandslams so far and counting

Level 84
Sep 12, 2014
39 is pretty good. And we're still counting with Murray.... :-)

Well, you didn't have to count very far, he stopped at 3!

Of course, I remembered Gerulaitis but not Becker.

Who the hell are all those guys who won the French from the mid 90s to 2004?? Did the French go back to amateurs only?
+9
Level 53
May 11, 2015
There's three or four world #1 among those "amateurs"...
+3
Level 72
Jan 7, 2022
Well 6, Courier, Kafelnikiov, Kuertens, Moya, Ferrero and Agassi. Gomez is a former doubles no 1 and a two time doubles GS winner.

Courier, Kuertens, Agassi, Kafelnikof and Bruguera are all multiple GS winners, the later being the only player to hold a winning record over both Sampras and Federer. Pretty plucky, these ‘amateurs’ eh?

Level 57

Take your point, but many of the greats fail on a clay surface and conversely many of the clay court specialists are only average on all other surfaces so there are a lot of unfamiliar names for the French Open.

It shouldn't take away from the French Open winners achievements though. The greats were at the tournaments, they just couldn't beat the clay court specialists. Some notable exceptions of course.

The only one I missed from 2005 onwards was Cilic. And I'm from Croatia :(

How come I always remember Cash, but always forget Ashe?? Those should be easy to combine, you'd think...

Aug 16, 2021
Don't worry, next time when you try to write Cash and don't hit the 'C' properly, you'll get the other guy. :)

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw on a VW bus one time, "Cash, Ashe, or Agassi...no one rides for free!" ...or something like that... ;)

Needs to be updated with 2019 Aussie Open.

"This quiz will be updated once a year".

The stats get reset every time the quiz is updated, so better to do it at the end of the year, rather than four times a year after each tournament.

That was an incredible tournament. If I remember, he was a qualifier that year, or at least a last minute entry. A really fun player to watch.

The year he won? He was a wildcard.

Yeah, I'm a diehard Djokovic Fan, and even I felt bad for federer after the match.

And now, experiencing my first time watching Djokovic in tears live on TV, I feel even worse for Federer fans.

How did more than 50% forget Laver, Courier, Wilander, Edberg or Vilas ??!! They're f***ing legends !

Level 76
Aug 16, 2021
If you've lived through the 70s - 90s, perhaps. For a lot of fans who are now idolizing the Big Three, that was before their time, though.

Please accept Pat Rafter, not Patrick Rafter. It's what he is known as in Oz. Thought I was going mad!

That will work now. In the future, save time by entering only the last name.

Really shows how dominant the big 3 have been when you realise this quiz hasn't been reset since 2014 because Cilic was the last new winner.
+8
Level ∞
Sep 14, 2020
We finally added a new one! All it took was for Federer to get knee surgery, Rafa to withdraw because of Covid worries, and for Djokovic to hit a lineswomen in the neck with a ball.

Level 81
Sep 14, 2020
French Open is being played yet in 2020, is it not? Will the quiz be updated a second time after that (usually only updated once per year)?

Sep 15, 2020
I guess so.
+2
Level 37
Sep 14, 2020
French Open starts soon, not cancelled. But I think you could put Nadal in that place as I think his Covid worries were more like, why go to the US Open and leave no time to prepare for the clay?

Didn't realize/remember that Vijay Amritraj never won a major. Surprising.

Level 57
Apr 29, 2022
He's beaten all the greats of his time but never got close to winning a grand-slam. Quarter-finals was his best.

I always try "Smith" when I'm out of ideas on names quizzes, usually gets an extra point ;)

They used to play it in december, but decided to move the tournament back to january. So they skipped the 1986 tournament to play the following month, after winter break.
