I've read your comment about the tennis player question and listened to the audio again (Q was "From Fred Perry in 1936 until 1997 no British male tennis player had reached a Grand Slam singles final. Which player broke that 61 year drought?" Ian answered Greg Rusedski and was given the point (as the year was 1997 that was the right answer to give)).<br /><br />However upon checking it is John Lloyd who reached the 1977 final of the Australian Open (beaten by Vitas Gerulaitis 6–3,7–6(1),5–7,3–6,6–2). I can't see any reason why the 1977 Australian Open would not be included as a Grand Slam so I am guessing the question setter got it wrong. Thanks for pointing it out Ian and thanks Dave for an interesting and well written site.
