	Don't know sports, but good quiz.

	Flick:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 17:32 GMT	15 points
	This is made easier because the champion information often provides the answer to the runner up. Good quiz though

	mcory:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 17:45 GMT	16 points
	I RULE! I got 40 answers correct!!!!! (If you use the tennis scoring system)

	jamiez:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 17:47 GMT	27 points
	Philippoussis = the Kyrgyzstan of this quiz.

	mendelevium:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 18:06 GMT	3 points
	im so proud of myself for spelling philippousis right. mind you i tried about 50 times before i got the right spelling. better time couldve been spent on guessing the other 41 answers

	y2jdilemma:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 18:15 GMT	8 points
	The next time I spell Ivanisevic right will be the first time.

	John MCENROE? You CANNOT BE SERIOUS?!?!?!

	mattv1:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 19:57 GMT	1 point
	I wouldn't have guessed Mal Washington ever made a quarterfinal of a major, let alone the final.

	bigal4:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 20:01 GMT	3 points
	@mattv, Yeah, that year was full of upsets, such as Richard Kraijcek beating pistol Pete. I think you have to hide the champions, it gave me loads of answers I would have forgotten

	smarty:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 20:48 GMT	4 points
	should be one for women too

	santosaurus:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 20:49 GMT	2 points
	I remember that '96 Wimbledon, where all the seeds fell early. Good quiz, good memories.

	Tonesta:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 23:14 GMT	2 points
	Great quiz - like it lots. Still can't quite work out though how I got Tanner, Pioline, Curren, Washington & Lewis but managed to miss Agassi. I'm even reading his autobiography at the moment! Tsk.

	RandallPinkston:	Jan 14th, 2010 at 00:57 GMT	2 points
	I'm going to disagree with the people saying that providing the champion info makes the quiz too easy. The only winners who were runners-up in other years are pretty big names, and most tennis fans would have guessed them anyway. The real challenge is pulling the more obscure names out of thin air.

	Philippoussis, you are the bane of my existence.

	Got all the first half and have never heard of any on the second half except Courier.

	B-b-b-Boris ist Geil!

	AdamL:	Jan 14th, 2010 at 16:23 GMT	6 points
	Really wish Andy Roddick's name was coming up in the 3rd column rather than the middle column for 2009. Was gutting.

	juviejay:	Jan 14th, 2010 at 23:43 GMT	0 points
	Can't believe I missspelled Connors!?%@#

	mew:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 12:21 GMT	1 point
	Agassi owns. @Tonesta, the autobiography is incredible!

	1996 Wimbledon Final=Worst Ever.

	World_B_Free:	Sep 27th, 2010 at 15:48 GMT	1 point
	Can't believe I forgot Rafter! Rushed home to watch the end of the '01 final against Ivanisevic, Pat went down 7-9 in the final set if I recall... Goran's 4th time lucky! Misspelled Curren... Argh.

	loftyj37:	Jan 2nd, 2011 at 18:31 GMT	1 point
	Really pleased to have got the lot, though I don't know how I managed to pull Cedric Pioline's name out of the corners of my mind!Most unlikely man to ahve made the final has to be Mal Washington and the unluckiest never to have got there equally has to be Tim Henman- he deserved at least ONE Wimbledon final but he mostly seemed to be drawn against the best player in the world in that year for the semis!

	macedoniajoe:	Jun 3rd, 2011 at 05:32 GMT	1 point
	pioline is difficult

	Beanz57:	Jul 3rd, 2011 at 16:28 GMT	3 points
	Time to add Nadal!

	anyaisthebest:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 17:58 GMT	1 point
	2008 final, one of the best tennis matches i've watched..as a teenager I'm not old enough to have seen any of the older classic finals as they happened, but I'm lucky to be around in an age where tennis is as good as it is now!

	Beanz57:	Jul 5th, 2011 at 11:05 GMT	1 point
	Totally agreed. I loved the 2009 final as well, was devastated for Roddick though.

	properson123:	Jul 8th, 2011 at 12:28 GMT	1 point
	OMG no Federer for 2010 or 2011 for Wimbledon! :'-(

	properson123:	Jul 8th, 2011 at 12:30 GMT	1 point
	i cant believe Cedric Pioline made it to da finals once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

	aznemesis:	Jul 9th, 2011 at 06:07 GMT	1 point
	Forgot how to spell Nastase's name. For some reason, I thought there was a random "j" in there somewhere. I had completely forgotten that Pioline or Washington ever made a major final. I always liked Pioline.
