List is chronologically backwards

[edit]

The lists in this article are backwards in dates as compared with all other tennis articles. It should be from oldest to newest. Anyone care to do the flipping? Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:58, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]


To be honest I don't mind it. It's not an honours roll of a single tournament or even a side by side comparison of all 4 slams. It's more like a stack, and it suits here imo. But whatever. The big problem is that's it's not chronologically accurate. Look at this 2020 season? The slam order was AO-USO-FO and it's correctly listed.

However for the previous similar occasions it's listed incorrectly, not in chronological order. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.2.80.215 (talk) 11:53, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Having looked at a few such lists recently I like that this one starts at the most recent but for that to work effectively it should be chronological as observed above. Also note the cancelled Wimbeldon was recently added but not, for example, the cancelled 1986 AO. Antipodenz (talk) 00:08, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Naming consistency

[edit]

Anthony Wilding is named "Tony Wilding" for his two Australasion Championships but "Anthony Wilding" for all his Wimbeldon Championships. Recommend this be corrected to the most frequently used term "Anthony Wilding" for all circumstances.
