A fact from Claire Curran appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 31 August 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that ex-professional tennis player Claire Curran competed for both Ireland and Great Britain in the Fed Cup and accumulated a win–loss record of 20–7 in Fed Cup matches over the course of her career?

Curiosity

Just out of curiosity - what are the subscripted numbers in brackets against some of the scores as there appears to be no explanation of what they mean. Keith D (talk) 10:34, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The superscripted numbers are the tiebreak scores. There are a number of different ways to write them, for example if a player won a tiebreak by a score of seven points to one then it could be written "7-6 (7-1)" or "7-6(1)" or "7-6⁽¹⁾". My personal preference is the latter but the other ways are correct as well. JoRoFo (talk) 16:00, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anne Keothavong

I noticed that the article states that Anne Keothavong is the British number one player. Since she is no longer the British number one player, the article is obviously out of date. Because I do not know enough about the subject to know whether other facts may also be out of date, I tagged it with the Template:Update. Coyets (talk) 13:26, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have rectified the mistake and now believe that the article is fully up to date. JoRoFo (talk) 07:03, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
