It is as trivial as a Deputy Prime Minister signing documents leaving the “Deputy” from his title. Same way, a Vice Admiral dropping his Vice. Dropping a vice is good sometimes though.

And about Sania Mirza missing out on the "doubles" detail; many of them thrashed Manjrekar and called him a chauvinist. Now SG, you have quoted 2 cases and they are similar yet so different. In first case; women achievement being ignored and in Sania's case; it was ok for her to miss that important detail.

Rafael Nadal vs Roger Federer. The match lasted a gut-wrenching 4 hours and 48 minutes. You praised both players’ mental toughness. You even said we are watching two of the greatest players ever and one of them may be the greatest ever. Knowing both players were emotionally drained, you cut short the post-match interview.<br /><br />You are a legend John.<br />SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-64528492679556912342017-07-17T00:18:23.213-07:002017-07-17T00:18:23.213-07:00If Serena Williams played on the men's circuit...If Serena Williams played on the men's circuit she would be ranked like 700th in the world.
