I will admit I have said worse and not gotten penalized. And I’ve also been given a “soft warning” by the ump where they tell you knock it off or I will have to give you a violation. He should have at least given her that courtesy. Sad to mar a well played final that way.https://twitter.com/ramonashelburne/status/1038554172637892608 …

But did you keep going on about it like Serena? Wasn't that part of it, that she kept going on about the coaching from Patrick and couldn't let it go? It seemed to grease the wheels for the next violation, and the next.
Yes. I kept going plenty of times. Not my proudest moments on the court, but it definitely happened in the heat of battle. And then the handling of it by her after the match was all world classy.

Hmm. Never knew. Interesting how image (yours was impeccable) can affect perception. I think Carlos could have given a warning before the game penalty but I also feel Serena wouldn’t have been as upset if she was winning 1 set to love. Unfortunate Osaka’s great play is overlooked

I mean, you could actually watch a match and not just make assumptions about what goes on on the court like most fairweather fans with loud opinions about how one should act on a court

She’d already ruined it by then, take your warning and move on, she ruined Osaka’s greatest day of her life, in sport, decisions go against you, to harp on about it for many minutes after is embarrassing, disrespectful and poor form

Is there racial/gender bias playing out in this incident?

Do you have any care or concern at all for the umpires you went off on and o, that they also have feelings just like you. Even as she kept ranting, Carlos remained calm. Couldn’t she have stopped at some point? Would it have spiraled into what we’re seeing today ?

I love how they keep adding to the exact sin that Serena was being punished for even after you’ve said that you did/said worse, like ‘she really deserved it, no one’s ever done that- wait, you did that? Oh okay how about this other little thing?’

Are you saying Ramos shouldn’t have enforced a clear violation of the verbal abuse prohibition because other umpires have let other players get away with it from time to time? Why bother having the rule then?
