      On the Serena Williams dispute: it’s a long time since I wrote about pro tennis. But rows about umpiring and behaviour were big then too. In this case, though, it’s important to look at 1) how the umpire generally rules 2) what the rules are 3) who the player is. #serena

      The umpire is generally regarded as fair. He applies the rules consistently - a female GS winner said as much on @BBCr4today this morning. And the rules on coaching are clear: if you *receive* it, you get penalised. Doesn’t matter if you don’t want the coach to do it.pic.twitter.com/GbuLPqTcJR

      So she was in violation. (Her coach is an idiot, but she chose him.) That’s a warning, under WTA rules. Then she breaks a racket: that’s a point. WTA rules again. Then she lit up at the umpire, and called him a liar. That’s a big no-no in tennis. Treat the ump as fair, or exit.

      This is a distinction I think not enough people are making. Attacking their impartiality is a specific infraction; it's not just mouthing off and ranting that she did.

      When I was training as a football referee (25 years ago!), the instruction said: you can call me a 'fucking cunt' all you like, you call me a 'cheat' and I'm showing you a red card.

          A team mate of mine was once booked for appealing for a free kick having been cleaned out by a defender. He must have been a different instructor.

          Probably a little extreme for the tennis world, but, yeah, basically the same sentiment. Bitching about the decision is one thing; saying that it was made due to dishonesty/corruption/etc is quite another.
