FILE - Chris Evert Lloyd admires her trophy, as the Duchess of Kent applauds, following the presentation ceremony on Wimbledon's Centre Court, Friday, July 3, 1981. Chris Evert appreciates that she, Serena Williams and other Wimbledon women's singles champions will now be listed on the All England Club's honor boards in a Centre Court hallway simply by their first initial and last name — the way the men's title winners always have been — instead of preceded by “Miss” or “Mrs.” (AP Photo/Bob Dear, File)
