You are absolutely right. Your turn to set a question.I will guess at 22 miles
Both correct. Virginia Wade being a multiple title holder of course.Virginia Wade must be one. And now Emma Raducanu.
3How many more majors winners are we still looking for?
IncorrectBlanche Bingley ?
Sue Barker ?
Annabel Croft ?
Lottie Dod ?
Ann Jones is correct, like Virginia Wade a multiple title holder.Anne Jones, Wimbledon (196?)
Not Johanna Konta, but the first name is getting there.Johanna Konta ?
Correct, she won mixed doubles at Wimbledon with Jeremy Bates.Jo Durie?
Good guess, but no. Not sure if there's been a Canadian winner until fairly recently (Bianca Andreescu in 2019).Canadian?
No. There have been Australian winners, of which five times winner Margaret Smith (a.k.a. Margaret Court) was the first Australian winner, back in 1962.Australian?
No, not French. Indeed, not sure there's ever been a French winner of the US Open. Mary Pierce (born in Canada with a French mother) was a finalist in 2005, but that's about it.French?
No, although there's been a couple of winners from the Russian Federation (Svetlana Kuznetsova in 2004 and Maria Sharapova in 2006) Russian is not the answer we're looking for.Not sure where I go from Canadian as a 'good guess', so let's plump for Russia.
No, not German. Angelique Kerber won in 2016 and Steffi Graff won five times in the late 1980's / mid 1990's, but that's not the nationality we're after.German?
No, not Costa Rican. Paula Umaña is probably their most famous woman player, but she's never won the US Open, as far as I am aware.Costa Rican?
