Wimbledon to no longer use ‘Miss’, ‘Mrs’ on women’s honour roll: Report
The Hindu
The All England Lawn Tennis Club has traditionally used "Miss" and "Mrs" for women winners but do not use titles for men. A report says this is about to change
Wimbledon will drop the titles "Miss" and "Mrs" before the names of female winners on its honour roll to match the men's boards in an attempt to modernise the tournament, The Times reported.
The All England Lawn Tennis Club has traditionally used the titles just for women—Ash Barty, last year's champion, was refereed to as "Miss A. Barty" whereas men's winner Novak Djokovic went on the board as "N. Djokovic".
In 2019, organisers did away with the use of honorifics when announcing scores in women's matches but the events continue to be referred to as "gentlemen's singles" and "ladies' singles".
The change will also put an end to married women being identified by both the initials and surnames of their husbands.
