Serena played Miami also. Venus won only one title (Antwerp),
and it wasn't on hardcourt. Nonetheless, you have 3 out of 5
parts for 6 points.

Suarez in fact won Vienna. Nonetheless your list is 100% correct.
10 points out of 10.

I don't even have any quibbles here (at least without
re-counting wins). All correct, so again 10/10.

Fed Cup doesn't count in my quizzes. But Shaughnessy was last
anyway. :-) Again, all correct; 10/10.

Total of 36/40 plus a bonus point.
