What's wrong with calling her "Mrs" if she is mArried? Terrible reporting this is.

The point is they aren't being called "Mrs. Serena Williams", they are "Mrs. A Ohanian"....
-
Have you read the article or watched Wimbledon. Commentators haven't once referred to her as Mrs Ohanian.The article has issue with them saying Mrs Serena Williams rather than Ms Serena Williams. They've a problem with them highlighting the fact she's married, which is ridiculous
-
Did you read the article? It isn’t just about what they are calledbin the matches, it’s also about how they are listed on wall of champions...by their married name.
-
Yes, and I agree with that. It should be the choice of the player, seems odd putting Mrs when you're not going to also put Mr for the men. My point however, was that someone mentioned it was about Serena being called Mrs Ohanian, when that wasn't mentioned.
-
I get you...they did not read the article cause it clearly says she is being called "Mrs William"

.....She’s married.....good broadcasting. Terrible news reporting by
@nytimes -
A lot of women, including married ones, don't like to be introduced in a manner that broadcasts their martial status. Considering she didn't take his name, I would assume she would also be one of them. There is nothing wrong with "Ms".
-
Seems strange...getting married but then not wanting people to know you’re married...
-
I can only speak for myself and my personal experience but I just don't like the idea that my martial status effects how people address me. I may be married, but I didn't change my identity when I got married.
-
So maybe I’m off here, but this seems like a Med School student becoming a Doctor then not wanting to be called Dr...like you just don’t want someone calling you Mrs. Rosenrot vs Ms. Rosenrot?
-
That's a fair question! I would more than likely not be comfortable being called "doctor" outside of an academic setting; but I would expect to be called "doctor" while at work or among colleagues. Me being a married woman has nothing to do with life outside of my partner.

Sports Illustrated had the same story yesterday but with a less inflammatory headline. Serena doesn’t care, so why is everyone else making a fuss over it? If you’re competing at Wimbledon and it bothers you, then by all means, say something.

Referring to a married woman as ‘mrs ‘ is abhorrent?
