Wimbledon removes the ‘Miss’ and ‘Mrs’ titles from the table, along with all Grand Slam tournament winners. According to The Times, Wimbledon’s decision is another step towards gender equality. Only the first and last names of the men’s tournament winners are listed.
The name “Miss A. Barty” was written on the wooden sign in the clubhouse of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, where last year’s Grand Slam tournament was played. According to the Times, Wimbledon will replace the sign with a sign without the titles “Miss” and “Miss”. A few years ago, track judges stopped using these women’s titles when posting scores.
Barty will not be able to defend his title this year. The Australian decided to end his career in March at the age of 25. Barty was at the top of the world rankings at that time. In the men’s race, Serbian Novak Djokovic won Wimbledon last year.
Russian and Belarusian tennis players will not be admitted to Wimbledon this year because of the war in Ukraine. In response to this, the tennis organizations ATP and WTA have decided that there are no world ranking points to be earned at Wimbledon. The English turf tournament starts on June 27.
