DavidThey 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! Linda-----Original Message----- From: David Russell

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
