This is quite simple. One poster lists four persons, preferably four tennis players, and then it's up to the others to figure out what these four have in common. All four persons doesn't have to be tennis people, but this is a tennis trivia, so at least two of them should.
For instance if my trivia question is:
Roger Federer,
Jurgen Melzer,
Andre Agassi
Radek Stepanek
the correct answer would be ”They're all married to female tennis players”. There are possibly other alternative correct answers to this question, but for you to get it right it has to be what the person who posted the question had in mind.
The person who gets it right then gets to continue by coming up with four new names, and others will guess what they have in common and then it continues like that until everyone gets sick of the game and no one wants to play anymore.
This is supposed to be for fun, but here are some rules/guidelines to hopefully make things work better:
*Don't ask a new trivia question until the person who asked the previous question okays your answer. This is to prevent that we get multiple questions going on at the same time.
*If a question hasn't been answered, the person who posted the trivia question can give clues. This can be by writing something or posting a picture, so that it will be easier for others to figure out the answer.
*If a trivia question remains unanswered for one day (24 hrs) after the person who posted the trivia question has given any new clues, then anyone can start over with a new trivia question.
*If you guess the correct answer on something, but don't want to come up with a new question, just say so and someone else can come up with a new question. If someone says the correct answer, but doesn't post a new question within 24 hrs after it's been okayed, anyone else can step in and post a new question.
*To prevent people from guessing endlessly you get one guess per clue. So once the trivia question has been posted, you have one guess, then you have to wait for the trivia poster to give another clue before you get another guess, and so on.
*If an answer is posted, but isn't 100% correct but quite close, it's up to the person who posted the trivia to decide if he/she okays the answer or if he/she wants the answer to be more specific. If he/she says a more specific answer is required, anyone can jump in, it doesn't have to be the person who almost got it right in the first place. So vulturing is allowed.
*Don't post questions where the answer is ”They have all been top 20 players” since that applies to far too many players or something vague like ”They're all mugs”. It should be something that's quite specific and doesn't apply to that many players.
These rules are what has worked on another forum I've been doing this on, but if we notice that something isn't working here, there might be adjustments in the future.
Any questions?
Feel free to ask if so, but I want to get this going so I'll start with:
Kim Clijsters
Petra Kvitova
Samantha Stosur
Na Li

Yeah, the clues were just fine and pretty clever in hindsight. That thing underneath my own scalp was the problem.
Also, damn you Rafa for not being top4 
There were not SCALPS because at the time they were nobodies - so it was a pretty crap clue
its alright mine i dead easy anyway, wont take long
Clue: they are the only 4, this applies to nobody else

No you are correct but to be more specific
They are the only singles golden slam winners, the rest have won in doubles

Kafelnikov, Ancic, Luis Horna, Pat Rafter
All beat Fed is 1st round of slams

James Blake
Vera Zvonareva
John Isner

Too easy I suppose it wouldn't have mattered which four I had packed, Daniela, Serena, Esther were probably too obvious as well. Go on ...

Final name before I reveal the answer.
6th name:
Serena Williams

The correct answer was that they're the highest ranked player of their continent.
Anett Kontveit
Sofia Kenin
Julia Georges
Anastasija Sevastova
Sofia Kenin
Julia Georges
Anastasija Sevastova
they all played at the US Open 2019 and reached the 3rd round
so did Paolo Lorenzi and Serena Williams. They do not have this in common with these four.
Come on, I am a renowned piano tuner and have personally attended to their instruments of pleasure.
Despite them all being non-Britain born, they all speak excellent English?
cancel that guess^, makes no sense. there's loads more like that than just these

Did Julia and Anett speak Russian to you while you were tuning their piano?
Anett isn't as deserving as the other three to be part of this club imo, but nevertheless she is.
They have all won their respective national championships (whilst playing the piano in Russian).
It never is when you are sitting looking at the answer 
there's some truth to that. however, if certain people would only bother to go into this thread, they'd come up with the answer in no time.
It's very much Status Quo, so all I can say is this is a very hard club to join.
They've all been rocking all over the world, reaching finals and winning titles in multiple continents.
by saying Status Quo (I saw them live this summer btw, but only one song) I just meant nothing has changed. It didn't have anything to do with the band.
depends on how you look at it. I'll post some clues when things change, but it could be a while.
Are we still playing the one from the opening post or do I have to scroll up to look for the current trivia?
