Comments on: Wimbledon drops "Miss" and "Mrs" from scoreboards after 132 years http://www.womenstennisblog.com/2009/07/01/wimbledon-drops-miss-and-mrs-from-scoreboards-after-132-years/ Latest WTA News, Top Women's Tennis Players Articles Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:40:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Teerin http://www.womenstennisblog.com/2009/07/01/wimbledon-drops-miss-and-mrs-from-scoreboards-after-132-years/comment-page-1/#comment-18860 Teerin Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:36:02 +0000 http://www.womenstennisblog.com/2009/07/01/wimbledon-drops-miss-and-mrs-from-scoreboards-after-132-years/#comment-18860 Oh, I found a word to describe my feeling; frustrated. :P After Maria, Elena is my favorite player. But since Maria is out I'm rooting for her all the way. She also had match point in that quarterfinal against Safina at the French Open -- and she could have won the French Open because she never loses against Ana Ivanovic. Now, Wimbledon, another match point, another bad day. They were showing around Wimbledon and people were talking about their favorite players. It seems these British people do not know these Russian girls at all. All they care about is Serena or Venus. Johnny McEnroe and those has-been American tennis players said that only 10% of their viewers know who Elena Dementieva is. Can we please get him fired? :P Anyway, I'm watching the match against Venus Williams and Dinara Safina. And unlike the previous match, Dinara Safina cannot do anything to win a game. Oh, I found a word to describe my feeling; frustrated. :P

Elena, you wasted a final chance today. Sorry to say, but your level could not be compared. I'm so sad. Elena, you wasted a final chance today. Sorry to say, but your level could not be compared.

Now she's losing in the final set, an extended set. I'm absolutely.. don't know what word will describe it. She was so close to winning, so close to her first Wimbledon final. :( Elena had a match point and was two points away from the match countless times.

Also they said that one of the reasons for the change could be to avoid confusion when sisters are playing each other, although the initials from their first names had been used.

They call the players by their last name only. No, they don't use "Mr" on the men's (as I remember). They call the players by their last name only.

Why not just use "Ms" for the women? Do they use "Mr" on the men's scoreboard?

Why not just use "Ms" for the women?
