Very brave effort there, Mark - your answers are obviously off the top of your head and not googled, which enters into the spirit of the game !
21. incorrect. 22. incorrect. 23. well done, 2pts 24. excellent again, 2pts 25. incorrect. 29. incorrect (Mr Roche tended to excel more at Mens Doubles) 31. yes, Billie Jean King for 1pt 32. spot on, 2pts.
Leader: [glow=red,2,300]Mark James 7pts[/glow]
