I thought the worst part was, “Say it! Say you’re sorry. SAY IT!”

What you call balancing the scales I call flat out stupidity or delusion. She’s worshipped no matter what. Like Donald, she could have shot Osaka today and her fans would be mourning how poorly and unfairly poor baby adult parent Serena was treated. If she wasn’t cheating, btw, she probably wouldn’t have had a…

Just gonna leave this here.

Can we please stop with the Serena worship? She’s a titan of tennis, a superb athlete, but she’s not without flaws, without her faults. She’s petulant, and this isn’t the first or worst instance of abusing an official in her career.

Man, this is kinda silly, Serena received the penalty for coaching (rightly so), a second for smashing the racket (par de course) and then goes to intimidate the umpire (You will never do one of my matches again) and calls him a thief, but she did nothing wrong?

She basically meant to say that the men can call the umps anything they want without getting warnings. She clearly needs to watch the ATP tour more often. Some dudes rack up fines in the tens of thousands.

I mean, her opponent is a woman as well, yeah? Did she start to play the race card and wisely change up in mid stream? Bizarre.

She did not take it like a champ. Serena takes the majority of the blame for this fiasco. She’s the one who ruined Naomi’s victory with her behavior.

He admitted coaching in the ESPN interview immediately after the match ended.

First warning to Serena for coaching. Her own coach admitted to Pam Shriver after the match that he had indeed tried to coach her. The gesture was meant for her to approach the net more often. He thought she hadn’t noticed it, but still, it’s the attempt that matters. Players have been using this excuse (“I didn’t…

Maybe just maybe if you're going to argue don't resort to personal attacks. Serena deserved the 2nd and 3rd code violations, but the 1st one is debateable.

Osaka was so far and away better today it wasn’t even funny. Her ability to step up and hit great shots serving up 5-4, after Williams stalled for forever complaining to the referees and the crowd showed their ass, was unbelievable.

This article is terrible.

Serena is a bad sport. It is what it is. You need to be almost pathologically competitive to succeed at the highest levels of sport, so it’s not that surprising. However,considering her position in her sport (and her age), it might behoove her to act like Federer,not Johnny Mac.

Maybe if Serena Williams didn't act like a persecuted bitch constantly she'd get the benefit of the doubt. But she doesn't 

Naomi outplayed Serena. This has ruined the win for her. The crowd sucked.

hey, man, HARRIOT could use that four bucks cause four bucks is four bucks yo

At least they cover sports.

If they had to pay writers the place just wouldn’t exist. Deadspin would get to move up an SEO spot.

If these writers are so exploited maybe they should quit writing for these folks.
