Serena Williams Addresses U.S. Open Controversy In New Interview

The Portuguese umpire penalised Serena Williams three times during her loss to Naomi Osaka, ultimately awarding the Japanese player a game after Williams called Ramos a "thief".

"This is a bulls***, for umpires being women or men doesn't matter", Strycova reportedly said.

Freedman was scathing of Williams' outburst, claiming the United States media was the only party that was sympathetic towards her and believed she had done nothing wrong. No Serena, you are obfuscating the whole issue and, sadly, a lot of people are falling for it. She reached her first Women's Tennis Association (WTA) finals two years later at the 2016 Toray Pan Pacific Open, and in 2017, beat defending champion Angelique Kerber in the first round of the U.S. Open. A second code violation brings a point penalty and a third is penalized by the loss of a game, as was the case with Williams a week ago. Remember her "I swear to God I'll f.ing take the ball and shove it down your f.ing throat" at the linesman for calling her for a foot-fault against Kim Clijsters during the 2009 semi-final?

According to a new report from The Guardian, Serena and the umpire at the centre of her US Open meltdown are "likely to be kept apart" at the Australian Open. But Osaka, who has shone a light on mixed-race athletes in Japan with her fairytale NY triumph, warned that she is now a completely different player.

"Really, it's just about having a great team. and rolling up your sleeves and hard work", Williams said. When he called the confused players to explain the reason for the change in score, a stunned Serena laughed in disbelief and demanded to speak to the tournament referee Brian Earley, who walked onto the court along with a Grand Slam supervisor.

He added that Osaka's coach was also coaching her during the match.

The International Tennis Federation released a statement in support of Ramos.

Carlos Ramos prepares to officiate Sunday's match.

Taking particular issue with Christopher Clarey of the New York Times, Ohanian wrote: "Statistics help for @NYTimes @christopherclarey please: The argument is that women are punished more often *per incident* than men are".

On Sept. 8, 2018, Osaka became the first Japanese player to win a women's singles Grand Slam.

Serena Williams has been fined for her outburst in the US Open finals.

In an opinion piece for the New York Times, Navratilova, 61, wrote: "We can not measure ourselves by what we think we should also be able to get away with". In fact, this is the sort of behavior that no one should be engaging in on the court ...

Unnerving as the experience was, Naomi is still in complete awe of her idol, and says "I'm always going to remember the Serena that I love".
