    (2/2) When a woman is emotional, she’s “hysterical” and she’s penalized for it. When a man does the same, he’s “outspoken” & and there are no repercussions. Thank you, @serenawilliams, for calling out this double standard. More voices are needed to do the same.

        Ramos ruined the moment of everyone watching the match. For what?

        The rule is hardly ever enforced and herein lies the problem. It’s across the board for everyone or not at all.

        Too many.. I’m sick of it Billy!! We’re still fighting. You just said you’re turning 75 and I remembered the battle of the sexes. Chauvinism still well in 2018.

        Serena was first penalised for coaching, which her coach has admitted he was doing. She was then penalised for smashing her racket, which she did. She was thirdly penalised for abusing the umpire, which she also did. No sexism.

        The rules are not applied fairly by the umpires in tennis. Coaching happens in every match. Nadal was coached by Uncle Tony every match & he was never assessed a code violation in a match let alone in Grand Slam final. Male players routinely cuss out umpires with 4 letter words,

        & are not assessed code violations (btw Serena never uttered a cuss word). You just don’t impose penalties like this in a Grand Slam final. It’s like assessing a foul for every little minor elbow thrown by one team in game 7 of the NBA finals or

        What i am remembering is that @Naomi_Osaka_ apologizing for the final having to end like it did. Her emotions are just as important, as I know that you know. Naomi and yes, all of us women deserve better. The match was emotionally exhausting to witness.

        Disagree with this.John Mc Enroe was defaulted in Australia, Jeff Tarango at Wimbledon, Nalbandian at Queens. No difference

        Nalbandian physically hurt a lines person. Definitely a difference from what serena did.
