Solutions

1:C - Jelena Ostapenko, Garbiñe Muguruza, Sloane Stephens, Caroline Wozniacki, Angelique Kerber, Ashleigh Barty, Bianca Andreescu, Sofia Kenin, Iga Swiatek, Simona Halep (two) and Naomi Osaka (three) have all won grand slams more recently than Williams, whose last title came at the Australian Open in 2017., 2:B - He also secured free school meals for the summer, half term, Christmas and Easter holidays., 3:B - Henry was sacked with a record of just four wins in 20 games. His winning percentage was not the only thing that counted against him. After demanding respect from his players and admonishing one of them publicly for not tucking in a chair properly at a press conference, Henry then proceeded to tell an opposition right-back that his “grandmother’s a whore”., 4:C - He apologised later., 5:A - The winning margin – 0.02 seconds – was the smallest in world championship history., 6:C - They are the three players who have scored hat-tricks against Barcelona in the Champions League. Asprilla and Shevchenko both scored their hat-tricks against Barcelona during the group stage of the competition in 1997-98, when Barcelona finished last in their group, behind Dynamo Kyiv, PSV Eindhoven and Newcastle. Different times., 7:D - The derby is named after the statue of the Virgin Mary that stands at the top of the cathedral in Milan, which is often referred to as the Madonnina (Little Madonna)., 8:C - Goran Ivanisevic was the world No 125 when he won Wimbledon in 2001. It was the only slam he won in his career., 9:D - Manchester United and Newcastle both gave up 12-point leads in the 1990s: Manchester United in 1997-98 and Newcastle in 1995-96. , 10:C - To be fair to Everton, their last win at Anfield – in September 1999 – was a memorable one. Kevin Campbell scored after four minutes and the teams spent the rest of the game kicking lumps out of each other, with Francis Jeffers, Sander Westerveld and Steven Gerrard all sent off as Everton won 1-0. Westerveld and Jeffers had a proper punch-up, which, of course, no one wanted to see.
