I’m definitely a big fan of Serena’s.

He didn’t get suspended but as your own link shows he got thrown out of the game.

At least she didn’t threaten to shove the tennis ball down the chair ref’s throat this time.

Are you trolling? Osaka thoroughly dominated, kicking Serena’s ass at her own game. That fueled this whole scene. Even after Serena would stop the match with a tirade, Osaka would come back and fire an ace right by her.

Um, what?! Did you even watch the match?

Venus has all the grace that everyone claims Serena has.

How was the first set which she lost 6-2 and which was completed before the first call on the coaching violation not a measure of her skill vs her opponent’s skill?

She lost that match and at no point was that due to a measure of her skill versus her opponents skill.

And McEnroe got lots of game penalties over the course of his career. Hell, he was given a match disqualification in the Australian Open in 1990, ejecting him from the major.

Do you also remember when Mac was EJECTED from the Australian Open for his shenanigans? Cause I 'member. 

He is not obligated to include previous decisions against male players by previous chair umpires. He was the umpire for the 2018 Women’s Final, and his interpretation of Serena’s behavior was legit. Goodnight.

He once penalized Djokovic for disrespectfully waving his racket towards the chair. This isn’t sexism.

Serena stans are the worst stans.

source? check out tennis-focused threads. this ump is known to be thin skinned with men too. there’s a video of him taking points from djoker making the rounds. plus, i’m a pretty big tennis fan — and a big Williams sisters fan — and i’ve never once seen an outburst like this in a grand slam final. the coaching…

the times and the rules change.  I also remember when you could take someone’s head off in football.  guess what?  that will get you thrown out today

Yeah, calling an official a “thief” is so much worse than saying “are you blind” or something. She’s accusing him of being unethical, which...pretty bad look. 

Because Deadspin wanted her to win. That’s really it.

even more suspect game penalty for “verbal abuse”

If you called a referee a "thief" in most sports you'd be immediately ejected and probably suspended a game or two. 

Jesus, how are either of those calls “suspect”, given that her coach admits he was coaching her and she was clearly and loudly personally attacking the ref?
