Talk:2017 Wimbledon Championships

Venus Williams withdraw
I just found out Venus Williams has involved in a fatal car crash caused of killing a 78-year old man just around two weeks earlier. Does she proof to withdraw from Wimbledon?

[LL], [PR], [WC]
The article currently contains no explanation for these abbreviations, i.e. [LL]=Lucky Loser, [PR]=Protected Ranking, [WC]=Wild Card etc. A brief explanation should be added into the article's body. Interested laypeople, the target audience of Wikipedia, cannot be expected to be familiar with tennis jargon. Thank you. --2001:4DD7:6CA4:0:9D80:2C9F:A520:32BB (talk) 06:42, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Removal of Singles Seeds
Hello, I randomly stumbled on this article and know nothing about tennis, so feel free to state the obvious, if needed. Is there a reason why the Singles Seeds section for this article had been removed ? The user who had done so had not added an edit summary, and is currently blocked.

 * Never mind, figured it out. The content was moved to 2017 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles and 2017 Wimbledon Championships – Women's singles. Leaving this section here in case someone else stumbles on the same thought.


 * It still feels inconsistent to have only the singles seeds removed from the 2017 article when the corresponding articles for the adjacent years (e.g. 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019) have both singles seeds and doubles seeds present, but I'll leave that to an editor more familiar with the sport to handle.
