Non story.

‘Modernise’ 😂. Ffs. These ‘times’ are moving NOWHERE. Anyone over the age of 20 must be cringing.

At last. The men aren’t Mr N Djokovic, don’t see why the women needed titled.

The world needs to get a grip. I’m in my 30’s and proud of my Mrs title.

That’s progressive and should be welcomed by everyone. No really

Have they consulted all the previous winners... including those no longer with us?
