They are using the plural for both sexes i.e. men and ladies. So "ladies' singles refers to singles for all women.

Both genders are treated the same!

Subject: [ebooktalk] Grammar Question

Hi Folks,

Can someone please answer this for me.

When I look at the schedule for Wimbledon tennis, they always mark the
matches as "men's singles" or "Ladies' Singles".

You may need to read this letter by letter to understand what I mean.

I am just wondering why the men and ladies are treated differently?


David
