How to play this prompt

Strategy notes specific to “Name a famous tennis player” — not generic advice.

Sports prompts reward the fan who watches beyond the highlights — the famous names are all Plankton.

The winning instinct on this one: skip your first thought entirely and type your second. Billie Jean King is a perfect example — completely valid, just not the reflex answer. Pete Sampras plays the same role as a backup.

The trap is Rafael Nadal — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Roger Federer is the same story. Typing either one puts you shoulder-to-shoulder with most of the player base at 10 points.

Andre Agassi and Serena Williams are the honest middle of this prompt — answers most players know but few type first. If your instinct answer feels too easy, reach for this layer instead of the obvious.

Rare answers travel in packs: if Martina Navratilova comes to mind, Steffi Graf and Pete Sampras are usually one thought away. Train yourself to pull the whole cluster, not just the first name that surfaces.

Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 10 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
