It's a bad look tbh. Same with Nadal and retiring. Like dude sick up the pain for one more set you big baby. Guy has never lost a match hes always just "hurt."
Back to Serena, shes an emotional player (always has been) so it's not surprising to see this behavior from her. That's how you beat her. You keep composed while riling her up.
The women gender bias crap going too far though. For me, I dont care if you lose and you whine, but keep it within reason. Shes a champion and she should know that these types of outbursts steal the shine from a new champion. Its bush league

What Serena did today is as American as apple pie. You dominate for years and whenever there’s a little set back it’s because the world is out to get it, it’s unfair. Americans are still bitching about the 72 Olympics and that was 46 years ago. The 88 Olympics is because we were playing boys when they were sending their pros. 04 is because it was a hodge podge bunch. Is it all try? Sure, but let it go.

These were made public when Russian hackers broke into the World Anti-doping Agency (WADA) database and released confidential data on 29 athletes (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-37352326), including TUEs for Williams and other tennis players including Venus Williams (http://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2016/09/venus-williams-wada-russian-hackers-itf-tues-serena-williams-rio-olympics/61109/), Rafael Nadal and Petra Kvitova.

:lol People don't want to understand the context of the sport. This is like calling an indirect free kick (without any warning) in a Champions League final on the goalkeeper for holding it longer than 6 seconds. You can try to point to FIFA's Laws of the Game, but you'd look silly to everyone that knows soccer because of the open-endedness of the rule, unclear interpretation and the stakes of the game. Just...don't do it.

What the coach actually admitted to was making gestures, the actual rule governing 'coaching' means Serena would have to been aware and receiving communication. Making hand gestures isn't enough; if he was behind a pillar or in the stadium bar it wouldn't matter. The coach also said he didn't think Serena even saw his gesture, and it happens all the time. Nadal's coach does it, Federer's, etc. They showed a split screen of it in real time and Serena wasn't even looking in his direction for majority of the time and even if she did, to be certain she even knew what was happening form the far end of the court, is a stretch.

Bottom line is, ref should've let it go. Refs shouldn't be stars in the middle of matches in any sport, especially important ones w/ vague not not oft-enforced rules. To not understand the role of the umpire in this is because people who don't watch the sport are adopting hot takes (more interested in the 'HURRR SEXISM' or 'HURRR GENDER CARD' debate).

He literally said "I'm honest, I was coaching", not "I'm honest, I was making gestures" :lol

Serena having seen him or not is irrelevant, if the umpire sees a coach coaching he has to call it.

And Serena didn't cry for injustice of her being called for that while other players didn't, she put on that 6 yeard old child tantrum acting as if she was holier than new born babies, screaming that she wasn't a cheater and that they were not coaching. I guess she's not only a cheater but a lier too.

Also, it is a lie that umpires never call that, Nadal has been warned with coaching many times, but he never played the victim the way Serena did. Heck, on the men's final on the next day Djokovic was called for time violation (a penalty which is even rarer than coaching) and he didn't even flinch.

Yeah, I watched it live. Maybe it's an English thing but to me it's clear he was answering whether or not he was stating his 'coaching' was making the gestures, not whether or not there was communication between him and Serena (see next point).


Serena having seen him or not is irrelevant, if the umpire sees a coach coaching he has to call it.
How do you know that tbh? Here is the rule:

"Players shall not receive coaching during a match (including the warm-up). Communications of any kind, audible or visible, between a player and a coach may be construed as coaching."

There is already annoyance in the ambiguity of the rule because communication between the coach and player would be two-sided. Making a gesture at someone not looking at you doesn't necessarily qualify. There's a reason I used the CL final example - you don't have to call it. And you'd be looking at a ref who did that in a CL Final like he's an idiot son.


And Serena didn't cry for injustice of her being called for that while other players didn't, she put on that 6 yeard old child tantrum acting as if she was holier than new born babies, screaming that she wasn't a cheater and that they were not coaching. I guess she's not only a cheater but a lier too.
Which is why I said she had a tantrum. Her meltdown doesn't absolve the umpire role in not being able to control a big match. Again, hence why I mentioned I feel people can only argue with polarized hot takes.


Also, it is a lie that umpires never call that, Nadal has been warned with coaching many times, but he never played the victim the way Serena did. Heck, on the men's final on the next day Djokovic was called for time violation (a penalty which is even rarer than coaching) and he didn't even flinch.
Who's argument is this addressing? Bit of a strawman tbh. My point is that it's not a common call, which is sparingly enforced, and doesn't need to be the center of a grand slam final for the reasons already stated.


You let it go, Serena was being a bitch, plain and simple.
My 'let it go' was for the ref as I edited above. But Serena being a 'bitch' doesn't address my points at all (since they're not mutually exclusive).

And you'd be looking at a ref who did that in a CL Final like he's an idiot son.

If an umpire sees a coach giving instructions to his/her player he has to call it. The umpire can't go into subjective appreciations of whether the player indeed heard/or saw the instruction. If a coach is coaching, then he/she is committing a violation and should be penalized via his/her player.


Which is why I said she had a tantrum. Her meltdown doesn't absolve the umpire role in not being able to control a big match. Again, hence why I mentioned I feel people can only argue with polarized hot takes

But on this case, the umpire did absolutely nothing wrong. The only possible controversy was cleared by Serena's own coach. Ramos even tried to calm Serena but telling her that he understood that maybe she didn't see her coach's instruction, but he had to call what he saw anyways. The other two infractions were flagrant and obvious and the rule is pretty clear: first, warning; second, point penalty; and third, game penalty.


Who's argument is this addressing? Bit of a strawman tbh. My point is that it's not a common call, which is sparingly enforced, and doesn't need to be the center of a grand slam final for the reasons already stated.

Time violation is also sparingly enforced, and Djokovic was called with one of those on the men's final. Yet it wasn't the center of a grand slam final, because Djokovic didn't react to it like Serena did. Serena was the one that caused that call to be the center of the final.


My 'let it go' was for the ref as I edited above. But Serena being a 'bitch' doesn't address my points at all (since they're not mutually exclusive).

Ramos also has a reputation as a stickler for the rules. At last year’s French Open, he drew criticism from the eventual champion, Rafael Nafal after they argued during a fourth-round match. Ramos gave Nadal two warnings for slow play, and the Spaniard felt he was being unfairly treated.

“I say it with sadness, but he is an umpire who scrutinises me more and who fixates on me more,” Nadal said after the match. “He also pressured me about coaching. I have respect for him and all I ask is for that to be reciprocated.

“The umpires are here to analyse the match and they are not here to use the stopwatch. There are some who like to take part in the matches more and who like to put more pressure on than others. If you want to see good tennis, you have to let the players breathe a little.”

Ramos has also been accused of inconsistencies. At this year’s Wimbledon quarter-final between Novak Djokovic and Kei Nishikori both players threw their rackets to the ground in frustration. However, only Djokovic was issued a warning and directed a comment at the umpire during the game: “Double standards, my friend, double standards,” he told Ramos. After the match, Djokovic brought the subject up again with reporters. “I thought I didn’t harm the grass. I know how I threw the racket. [Nishikori] even threw the racket in the fourth set. [Ramos] said he didn’t see it it.”

Ramos has also been accused of grandstanding. At the 2016 Olympics, he issued Andy Murray with a code violation when he thought the reigning champion had called him “stupid”.

“I didn’t say ‘stupid umpire’, I said ‘stupid umpiring’. But if you want to be the star of the show, that’s fine,” said Murray as the two spoke during a break between games.

Since when is enforcing the rule book a mistake? Nadal and Djokovic have always took more time than allowed between serves, just because an umpire actually calls them on it, it doesn't make him the villain.

If anything, this makes Serena's victimization even more pathetic, since it wasn't a personal or sexist thing, like she wanted to make it seem.

Ramos, apparently, is a strict umpire that calls what should be called; you as a player should adapt and that's it. And that's what, despite those incidents there (players have arguments with umpires all the time), every player usually does. Neither of those arguments you posted there were big controversial moments, because the players involved handled it like players are suppossed to handle those moments. There's no excuse to throwing the tantrum of the century to try and distract from the fact that you were getting outplayed and were caught cheating, tbh.

Folks trying to justify the actions of this grown ass woman, make her no favour; because she will think it's OK to go on life acting like a spoiled toddler that can cry injustice whenever something doesn't go her way.

09-10-2018, 09:45 PM
So, to recapitulate:

1) Umpire gives a correct "coaching warning", admitted even by Serena's coach.

2) Serena puts on a tantrum and asks for the umpire to apologize to her because she doesn't "cheat", despite the umpire actually having made the correct call.

3) Serena smashes her racket, forcing the umpire to call a "point penalty". That shit is automatic in tennis. Not much to discuss.

4) Serena calls the umpire a "thief" on international television for the whole World to hear, and forcing the umpire to call a third violation on her, and therefore a "game penalty".

Yet, apparently we need to somehow find a middle ground here and say everybody was wrong? :lol

Look, I don't know what kind of racist bullshit goes on in the US with tennis fans and the Williams sisters but I don't give a fuck, I call it how I see it, and on this ocassion it is pretty obvious that Serena was being a monumental entitled bitch, tbh. Anybody thinking otherwise, either has ulterior motives or is trying to be politically correct to a fault.

Bro, this isn't on the umpire. Serena got caught cheating and was properly warned. She then threw a tantrum, including demanding apologies she didn't deserve and impugning the umpire's character for properly following the rule about her breaking her racquet in an unsporting way. She's not a rookie. She knows the rules and willfully disregarded them. Her behavior was disgraceful; fuck your trying to blame the umpire. You're no better than she is for doing that.

Serena was completely clueless regarding the Code Violations rules.

That and she is dead wrong about the "You'd never do that to a man"

McEnroe retired a quarter century ago. And being a fan of McEnroe isn't exclusively inclusive of his bitch and moan schtick.

I love Manu. Hate how he was a flopper, but still love him.

I never personally watched McEnroe, just don't remember him playing the gender victim card.

1. Calling an umpire a sexist from nothing in today's climate is not the same thing; it just isn't.
2. Also, she got caught cheating. Did McEnroe get got cheating?

What Serena did was Indeed pretty similar to what McEnroe used to do. The difference is that McEnroe didn't play the victim and tried to pass his petty selfish rants as some kind of social statement.

He was a spoiled brat and considered the judges to be idiots. He showed his ass. He never claimed he was being discriminated against because of his age/race/gender/whatever.

That may be the reason he didn't play the victim, maybe not. The fact is he didn't play the victim.

"John McEnroe, one of the game’s most tempestuous characters in his playing days, said the sport must find a way to allow players to express feelings and inject their personality into the game while adhering to the rules. Ramos should not have given Williams a violation for breaking her racquet and should have warned her early on about what would happen if she did not move on, he said.

“I’ve said far worse,” McEnroe, a seven-times Grand Slam singles winner, said on ESPN. “She’s right about the guys being held to a different standard, there’s no question.”"

I have been playing tennis for a while now. I think it is funny how she made it sexist. Women play the best of 3 sets and get paid the same as a man who plays a best of 5. I could understand equal pay for equal work, but that is not equal work. If they were to pay them equal amounts per set played, then I would be ok with it.

As far as her outburst, I don't really care about it. I think she made more of it than it needed to be due to mental fatigue of getting her ass handed to her by Osaka. There was no stopping that woman. Osaka was on fire in that match. I give Serena a pass on her behavior, but as far as the rulebook is concerned, her penalties were legitimate.
