Team Serena here. The umpire made this match about him rather than the play of the women. I’d be furious too.

But on another note: Osaka barely claims her Haitian roots
This clip (below) from a couple of days ago makes you a liar. Serious question: Why did you lie about this?

Thats because all the commentators were siding towards Serena to win. Chris Evert, Pam Shriver and Mary Joe Fernandez should not be allowed as commentators going forward if they are biased towards a player. They should be neutral.
American commentators always root for Americans or, when not available, for their favorites (e.g. Federer). It's somewhat annoying but nowhere close to the US open crowd which is as vicious as it is provincial. I have been to us open many times and it's the worst.

the umpire made a big mistake to the point of throwing a cloud over osaka's win. it is entirely possible that Serena would have won without that last ruling.
on the other hand Serena is... complicated. she is a legend, the best of all time with an interesting life. at the same time, she is entitled and takes for granted that everything is about her and she should be the center of everything. e.g. she is by no means the first mother on tour but judging from her behavior you would think she is.

Did you even watch the post match? Serena was very gracious to the point of making sure that the crowd recognized Naomi’s win and not boo anymore.
Stop making up stuff that didn’t happen.
Yes I watched the entire post match coverage. Serena said that Osaka played “well”
which was just absurd. Serena got her ass nicked and she couldn’t acknowledge that she was outplayed in every facet of the game? Her feeble “don’t boo” nonsense was pathetic.
She also said that Osaka was composed and that she (Serena) could learn a lot from Osaka. I guess you missed that part...... I’m not understanding why you would be criticizing how Serena treated Osaka. She gave her a big hug at the end of the match and congratulated her multiple times.
Did you watch Osaka’s press conference too or just Serena’s? Osaka said the hug meant a lot to her and she felt deeply for Serena because she knew how much to loss hurt her.
Serena has shown nothing but respect for Naomi who idiolizes her.
+1. I have no problem with what Serena did. She was a competitor and sometimes that happens. She meant no disrespect to Naomi. Serena is a great champion! Deal with it.
Basically, y'all could never break her (us). So you call her a dog.
Spineless.

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.
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?

Agree with this. Serena does not behave the way we all expect her to.
She's not like us.
Like pp said, she's a b**** because of that.
Next.

Like you said in your first sentence, you are not a follower of tennis. That’s pretty obvious.

Yet John McEnroe is a commentator and he constantly jokes about how awful he was towards the umpires. Hmmm

You’re too stupid to bother responding to.
There’s nothing stupid about posting the facts. Especially since you obviously didn’t watch either the match or the post match interviews.

Actually, this person is not stupid at all. He/she just posted the facts of what happened today at the US Open. How can it be stupid to have a grasp of the facts of a situation?
