Pronunciation of "Aloysius" (Yapp)

[MattPoland]

FWIW, all of the announcers for the finals of the Florida Open that I heard used the same pronunciation for Yapp's first name.

Phil Yates read this thread. He commented on the live stream that some people pronounce the name al-oh-WISH-us but he said that he asked Yapp and he pronounces it uh-LOY-shus.

I think @VTEC John and @Biloxi Boy will be quite interested in that info.

The pronunciation of Yapp's first name came up when he first finished high in a major. I thought it was settled at that time.

Interesting that everyone referred to him as Yapp, like it was a first name, after the big win. The interviewer called him Yapp during the post-match interview.

I've played him. He introduced himself as "uh-loy-shus".
