[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a huge Serena fan, but this was not her best moment.  I watched the match and the event could have ended with 1 warning.  When he issued the warning she reacted calmly to the umpire while disagreeing and should have dropped it from there.  Two games later she slams her racket then decides to argue about the first warning again.  I guarantee neither of those incidents would have happened if her serve hadn’t been broken.  Kudos to Naomi for keeping her composure throughout Serena’s interruptions, I would have really felt for her all the distractions got in her and she lost the match.  [/quote]

Serena was treated very unfairly. She did not know that the "coaching" call had counted against her, so was surprised when the racket incident resulted in the loss of a point. So she was angry with the umpire for taking that point and complained to him pretty vociferously, at which point he took an entire game from her. She was not cursing or being vulgar, she was venting her emotions. Men say much worse things on the court and are not penalized.

Is a championship match the time to be enforcing relatively petty rules in a capricious way? I don't think so.

Who knows who would have won this match had Serena been treated fairly?
