[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a follower of tennis, but DH really enjoys watching Serena.  I thought her actions were awful--but, I don't know what the men do.  I know the commentators were saying that the men do a lot worse.  That said, the way she threw the racket and calling the ump a "thief' were pretty awful to me.  Do the men call the umps names?  To me, calling him a thief--telling him that he stole her point-was pretty bad.  That's worse to me that profanity or vulgarity.  It's not the same thing as calling him a mf or something like that.

She was way out of line and her first interview was not very good.  Later, her words in an interview were better.  But, after the tournament, when she was interviewed at the presser, she was complaining about sexism.  There may be sexism, but that was not why she lost.  It was not a good look for her--especially when she has done so well.  And, it certainly diminished Osaka's win.  Poor Sport, Serena.[/quote]

When you examine the details of what happened, he did steal a point from her. No one else gets penalized for coaching and Serena was unaware that he had issued an actual warning to her. The only thing she did wrong was to smash her racket when she was mad at herself, which would have been a warning at that point. She never would have been complaining to the umpire if he hadn't awarded her point to Osaka, so she also would not have had an extra game awarded to Osaka.

Osaka was given an extra point in one game and then an entire extra game because the chair umpire was unfairly enforcing rules against Serena that are not enforced against other players. How is this a fair way to play a championship match?
