1:B - It was at 6:35am, which is too early to be doing anything., 2:A - Indurain won the race five times – all in a row – in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995., 3:C - Altidore's girlfriend was annoyed at the treatment he had suffered from the El Salvador players in the Gold Cup quarter-final. USA won the match 2-0 but Altidore's nipples may need a late fitness test before the semi-final., 4:C - Connors won it twice – in 1974 and 1982. Federer has won it eight times and he's planning to be back next year. , 5:B - Hingis won the mixed doubles event with Jamie Murray – who has now won more Wimbledon titles than his brother, Andy.
