This is the classic clue that plays much easier on an airdate than it does on a tape date. This episode was taped back in mid-March, when Wimbledon hasn’t been on everyone’s mind for the past week.

At Wimbledon, it’s known as the Last 8 Club. Not only are the singles quarterfinalists members, but also if you reach the semifinals in mens’ and ladies’ doubles, as well as the finals in mixed doubles.

The club has existed since 1986.

      (To John:

      My prediction of April 19 of “2 or 3 5-timers” is looking pretty darned good right now, we now have our 2nd 5-time champion since then, and I don’t think we have a great deal of time left until the end of the season!)

        Yes, and luckily for Jon it was a very easy FJ today. The “tea” part was pretty much a giveaway and Jon is pretty safely in the ToC now I think.
        Thought this would be a 3/3. J has a tendency for sport events as FJ when they are happening. Wasn’t there a FJ about the Tour de France a couple of years ago when they were racing the TdF , I think it’s already 2 years ago, I am not quite sure.
