In 2008, Mike Myers played "The Love Guru" on the big screen, but
apparently his advice wasn't based on fiction any more than authors
and former spouses John Gray and Barbara De Angelis, both of whom
obtained their doctorates from the always dubious and now discredited
Columbia Pacific University diploma mill.

From the quilt title, I immediately thought it was going to be either
DR. RUTH or DR. PHIL, but with no letter "D" in the answers, it made
it difficult to answer. Then, maybe it was MCGRAW (Dr. Phil's last
name), but once again, the letter "M" is no where to be found.
Something just don't match up, somewhere, but I'm at a loss.

I'm going to guess Boris Becker, since he's the only male German player
I can think of.

Have no idea for the quilt. Too few certain answers.

Incorrect (although a better guess than you'd think; he was usually
ranked much higher, but he retired in 1999, so it's possible he had
dropped that far by then [a very quick check shows that he didn't
finish inside the top 24 after 1996]).
