Head-to-Head: Tennis IQ Challenge - WTA No. 1s

[@sh0001]

Murray was impressive. He wasn’t prepared for it. Yet he did really well!

[@shafqatishan437]

Still missing someone as popular as Azarenka is a huge blunder

[@joellahrman4557]

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.

[@Noa-cc9ur]

Zverev is also pretty good in these things and so are Nadal, Djokovic, Ruud and Medvedev. The worst but funniest are Kyrgios, Tsitsipas, and Rublev 😂

[@DaggerMan11]

@@Noa-cc9ur Auger-Aliassime also tends to do really well. In fact he's probably the closest to Cilic

[@joellahrman4557]

@@DaggerMan11 FAA is definitely a hot Next Gen prospect trying to find a way to close the gap on the current world #1 (Cilic). FAA is probably going through tennis-based Sporcle quizzes on a daily basis.

[@SaulGoodman-w2x]

Ruud has been excellent. Actually gave GOAT Cilic a run for his money on 1 or 2 games recently.

[@joellahrman4557]

@@SaulGoodman-w2x I don't think I've watched any of the challenges with Ruud, but that doesn't surprise me. His dad was an ATP player so Ruud has been around tennis for a long long time.

@Will Stubbs Just the first time a player was #1

[@aziraphaleangel]

@Will Stubbs Austin was only number one for 21 weeks total. For the rest of those seven years it was alternating between Evert and Navratilova.

[@imalwaysright]

Gael recommended a good game 👋🏻👋🏻

[@nikhilanandpandit8644]

WTA no1 Zverev: me

[@vauhtihirnuCOLA]

Can you guys ask find some current player who really knows tennis to challenge Cilic to a quiz These are good fun 👍

[@joellahrman4557]

I think all the players know not to mess with Cilic.

[@charlesantoine9054]

Nicolas Mahut is probably the best challenge for Cilic but he never features in these.

[@maneebmasood]

Anything involving Gael Monfils :D

[@Noa-cc9ur]

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.

[@AbinavV06]

How did Murray miss Iga hahah

[@j.j.1517]

He didn't, he only missed 3 and they named them at the end. They didn't show him answering Swiatek.

[@beatrisca]

In the final results he got 24/28. He missed 4. I think they forget to tell him at the end about Swiatek.

[@imalwaysright]

Anybody else miss Barty being on tour 😓

[@A_friendwithoutbenefits]

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.

[@ramprathap6584]

I don't understand one being her fan. She doesn't play attractive tennis. Barely a pusher. Very bad attitude and comes off rude on and off court. On the other had there are players who are better pushers like aga Radwanska who plays her heart out every single point. I can never understand someone supporting players like Wozniacki or vika.

[@aBeatleFan4ever]

Caroline Wozniacki was the year end #1 player in the world for two consecutive years (2010 and 2011). There are LOTS of players who have won one grand slam title.... but very few who have been the year end #1 twice. Even less who were year end #1 for 2 consecutive years. It is a much greater accomplishment to be a year end #1 - than to win a GS singles title. She won 30 WTA titles. It is a LOT tougher to win THIRTY titles than to win one GS. She won 60 or more matches in 4 different years. She won 50 or more matches in 6 different years. She won 40 or more matches in 9 different years. Much tougher to do that than to win one GS title. She had a great career and she will easily be voted in to the tennis HOF.

[@A_friendwithoutbenefits]

@@ramprathap6584 maybe for the reasons outlined in the comment below yours. I don't agree those achievements matter as much as grand slams btw. But it shows why many do appreciate Wozniacki.

[@mr_coffee9917]

​@@A_friendwithoutbenefitsit makes no sense for you to say GS matter more. If tennis is what we talk about then all tennis matters

[@A_friendwithoutbenefits]

@@mr_coffee9917 lots of stats matter but the one held in the highest regard is the number of singles slams. Very few will remember Safina and Jankovic despite all their achievements, because they never won a slam

[@hirenpatel3699]

You have to include at least 6-7 players...it would be more fun..

[@pkoppula]

These both 😂💯👏🏽👍🏽

[@tomgraham3206]

Unforgivable not to get Sanchez-Vicario. He was a kid when she was at the top.

[@olaraay]

Murray is a big tennis fan women’s or men’s, and Gael if I’m not wrong is dating a wta player so,, a good match up
