69A opener?

[rebellette]

Thanks for your help, but I have Archery for 64d which means opener does not fit, but archery could be wrong!!!!

[tommy.toon]

108A + 92D ....Ken Rosewall was sometimes referred to as the LITTLE MAESTRO

[crosswordnut]

77A might be MNS= Monday Night Soccer on TV3

[rebellette]

Thanks everybody!!!!!

[rebellette]

thanks everybody for your help,

Just wondering....does anyone know if opener is the correct answer to 69a, I cannot get the connection to the clue.....I now think that 64d is Anthony, which means that opener fits.....but I would like to know the reasoning to it!!!......thanks again.

Opener is definitely right, as the first 2 batsmen in cricket are called the openers.
So is Anthony, being first in ANTHONY Daly and finish in Algernon ANTHONY, a jockey
