Comments on the competition
1.
Thought in general that the selection was below the usual high standard this time. Nothing leaping out at me, and more than usual just confused me, with in some cases, neither clue nor exaplantion making much sense to me! (I accept this may be more down to me than the clues) I was going to try and steer clear of the ones obviously related tennis ones, but my favourite was 40 which does obviously touch on tennis, but it's a lovely concise effort which would make me smile if I came across it in a puzzle.
