  2. Monfils seems like more of a comedic crowd pleaser than a student of tennis history, but he knows his stuff and does quite well in these challenges. Murray is also pretty strong. Nobody messes with Cilic though. I think Murray and Monfils would have to team up against Cilic to have a chance.

  3. Actually pretty pretty impressive I don't think I could have gotten as much just from the top of my head and not writing them down I probably wouldn't have forgotten many thinking I already aaid them or repeating same names multiple times.

  4. Wozniacki was once labelled as the choker who was consistent enough to get to number 1 but not good enough to win a slam. I was delighted to see her prove her doubters wrong at the AO18, which on hindsight was at the twilight of her career.
