Jeremy Shales, who officiated at more than 40 Wimbledon Championships and will be best remembered as the chair-umpire who caused one of Ilie Nastase's most vicious outbursts by addressing the player as "Nastase" and not "Mister Nastase", has died after a short illness.
The British official was in the chair for Nastase's 1977 Wimbledon quarter-final against Sweden's Bjorn Borg. Nastase was becoming increasingly irritable as he neared defeat, and he took great offence when Shales, "like a master speaks to a naughty schoolboy", called him "Nastase" over the Centre Court public address system.
Nastase, a Romanian already known as "Nasty" for his short temper and controversial approach to dealing with officialdom, immediately approached Shales and stood there wagging his finger in indignation. "If you want to speak to me," Nastase said with real menace in his voice, "you call me Mister."
The episode is often listed as one of the most memorable tantrums at the All England Club. "I think Shales got the message. In fact, the whole world got the message, because after that I started to be called Mister Nastase everywhere," Nastase would later write in his autobiography, which was published under the title, 'Mister Nastase'.
Shales was also the umpire when Martina Navratilova won the first of her nine Wimbledon titles, in 1978, and also when Martina Hingis triumphed at the All England Club in 1997. He also officiated at the Australian Open, the French Open and the US Open, and it is believed that he was still working a few weeks ago.
