Plus her coach admitted he was cheating in his post match interview. Serena was completely full of shit here.

I mean, after the match, people were literally calling her THE MOST CLASSY ATHLETE OF ALL TIME. After throwing a tantrum at the ref and calling him a thief because he correctly penalized her. What fucking planet are we all living on? I mean, sure, she has been unfairly criticized, but is the way to solve that just…
I adore Serena Williams, but that game was not her best, game wise and behaviour wise. Tragically, all involved in the saga took something from Naomi Osaka that she will never, ever get back. That was her first ever grand slam win and everyone, from this site, to every single other news or sports site, is more intent…
Oh! You have all the evidence of this dude letting men get away with these things? Or are you just jumping on the bandwagon because it supports your narrative? ‘Cause that’s a bold claim to make about a person without evidence. Lay it on me, slim!
It’s a point we all should bear in mind, but it’s harder to make when her adversary is not a white ponytailed American favourite, and when this happened in a match that she was already clearly losing. If she’d suffered an injustice, say, against Maria Sharapova in a tournament held in St. Petersburg, in a match in…
The type of idiot this site’s visitors agree with, apparently.
Counterpoint:
She is not unfairly criticized and has a history of abusing match officials.
2009 is a classic (start at the 14:20 mark), of course, but I am also partial to the 2011 variety:
“After what she thought was a controversial call against her, Williams went into a tirade against chair umpire Eva Asderaki, …
She’s a once-in-a-lifetime talent, like Wayne Gretzky or Michael Jordan, but she also goes wildly off the rails sometimes. There was a documentary on her that I watched, that showed in equal parts her good/great sides and her giant downsides. The part where she explained her threatening that poor lineswoman with an…
You’re an idiot.
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…
You’re defending bullying. That’s what it was and hopefully you can look past your position as a fan of hers to realize that.
White men never gets ticket (oh wait, I’m a white man with lots of tickets. Shit), it’s real unfair!
I hope someone realizes Serena pulling a sexism card here is pathetic. She got her ass beat down, lose with class Serena. Serena’s coach also contradicted post-game press by her - that they he doesn’t coach from the stands. So I guess her lying about being coached is men’s fault, or some dumb shit.
Just gonna leave this here.
The other player wasn’t white.
I may not have hit the nail on the head with my word choice here, I’ll admit, but I don’t think the article is balanced, it’s a puff job of Serena. She lost 6-2, 6-4, and this controversy happened in the second set. Wouldn’t it be more fair to say that Serena wasn’t feeling it today, wasn’t having her best match,…
Maybe we should put together a highlight reel of Serena acting like a child and threatening umpires.
The umpire was right on all three of those calls. It sounds like Williams thought the “coaching” warning was rescinded because she told the umpire she’s not a cheater, but of course that’s not how that penalty works. The call is made against the coach (who admitted he was coaching from the stands), so the player can’t…
When you get caught stealing, is it a valid defense to claim that many people before you have stolen without getting caught?
The highlight reel should only show the cursing done after the player has been assessed one or two violations. What’s rare, even for emotional, aggressive, half-mental men and women in tennis is for those players to continue to push the umpire when they know they’re going to lose a point or game.
