I got 16 for the men. Ran out of time, and couldn't spell one of the winners (Still can't, even after seeing the answers, ha). I did get 21/21 for the women, but had to use the clues as a refresher for the final 2, which I was hoping to avoid.

Didn't even see the link to the women's version. Managed 15 on that one.

Cheers Bob. Watch spoilers, folk

Yes AV, I wish they wouldn't put ridiculous time limits on such quizzes, making accurate typing speed a huge element. Not that I ever make typos

(I'd never heard of Ko-man - and didn't know where to put him, even WITH the spoiler cry )

Ah, fair point Indy. I've edited my earlier post.

Yeah, even for some of the more obvious ones, when typing the last few letters (on my phone) I would accidentally put an o instead of an I, and have to type the full name out again, killing time.

Managed 21, by the way it lets you just type and submit surnames!

Didnt try womens, going was good so I'll not damage a good evening !

indiana · Tennis legend

21 is nae bad, Jon

18 for me plus I would have got another 2 with a little more time ( even though I knew I needed to be quick ) but I admit that I was more into thinking time.

indiana · Tennis legend

Hmm, 16 for the women.

Needed a lot more time for this one plus getting annoyed by a total brainfade regarding one name didn't help.

the addict · Tennis legend

Warmed up by trying the mens, but out of time on 14
16 for the women here too - could have got the lot with another 30 seconds if it wasn't for a couple of typos

I got 14 with the men before I realised surnames would. Would have managed 21 with the women but couldn't spell Garbine's surname.

Yes, I was the same re early players. I rattled through most of them but it was some more recent ones that I was having to think about and ran out of time.

I reckon though that I would have got them all in my own good time, including actually remembering thingamajig's name.

Ditto. I missed three of the last four.
