There were 96 players here and tonight there were only two left and I got beat by the world No1.”, 4:B - The Japanese kickboxer, who was floored three times before his team threw in the towel, said he had “underestimated” Mayweather – an undefeated boxer who has won multiple world titles in five weight classes., 5:C - The two 37-year-olds, who have won 43 grand slam singles titles between them, met in a game of mixed doubles at the Hopman Cup in Australia. , 6:D - Busby agreed to take the job in February 1945 but didn't play a league match until August 1946 due to the second world war.
