[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her coach actually admitted to coaching her and said all the coaches do it so it was odd that she was called on it.

He added that she didn’t see.[/quote] 
She kept on screaming at the umpire “you owe me an apology” and “you are a thief” more than once, so the umpire quietly told her “verbal abuse, 2nd warning” and “verbal abuse 3rd warning”. It was not audible to those who were on court. 
She was not playing well right from the start. Her service percentage did not improve much in the 2nd set but right after the coaching, she started winning points by forcing Osaka  to the net. osaka  continued  her great game. What she did was much more than “show her emotions”. Besides many make players have been penalized for breaking rackets. 
Serena probably wanted to bring her baby to the court like Klijsters did when she won the US open less than a year after giving birth. She knew it was not happening so she list her temper and started acting out. [/quote]

Didn't the ump's call set her off?  [b]Why did the ump make that call in the first place?[/b]

because he felt like it. it was a bad judgment but squarely within rules. if you watched tennis at all you would know that this happens all the time and it happens to everyone. and unlike this call, which at least was within rules, there are literal bad calls when balls which were out are called in etc. yes players can challenge them (a relatively recent development) but even today it happens that they run out of challenges and obviously wrong calls are allowed to stand.

tennis has a big mental component. losing break chances, match points, saving a double match point and having a break in the fifth, then losing at the end...  dealing with unfair calls and lousy audience is a part of that. US open audience hates djokovic for example. he only has 2 wins here despite it being his best surface because they always viciously root against him. but, that's on him. it's a part of the game.[/quote]
