Parsing of these two needed, please:-
15Down - "Crows' weekend spent on treetop in
this?" (R-O-T). Answer must be ROOST
but can't see where the weekend comes
in - and why crows particularly?
21Down - "Turn out Wimbledon winner." (E-E-T)
Surely this must be EJECT, but, if so,
where does the Wimbledon winner
come into it?

21 D. Evert, I think. Chris Evert,female tennis player, was around at the same time as Martina Navratilova.

Thanks., Malone - evert, to turn inside out, is not a
word I've seen for years! That'll be the answer!

Sorry, I should have added that 'evert' fitted the definition, turn out - and yes, it's a word that's seldom used.

Thanks also to Busby - another very sneaky clue
and I didn't fancy going to bed racking my brain
about that one!
