Never experienced posting, and this will be obliterated, but come on. Yes, she is probably the best female tennis player ever. Yes, she is an absolutely undeniable amazing talent. I fully respect all that she has accomplished because she is an incredible athlete with a fantastic work ethic. But to act how she did shows her class of personality. Her coach admitted he was indeed coaching from the box. That’s against the rules. To throw a hissy-fit like that is just inexcusable. If you’re that good, put your head down and get over it. Don’t get all pissed off and expect that the chair shouldn’t call against you based on your accomplishments. It’s a shame that she felt it alright to berate the ref like that. She could be a very positive role model, but this kind of behavior is unprofessional and over line, and should not be respected just because she has won so many other tournaments in the past.

Could not agree more.. To see a leader become a victim is hard to watch.. its is sad...Nike not having a good week huh...
DirkNurple
Link to hissy fit?

You got beat. Win with class, lose with class.

If u watch tennis a lot, u know Serena always does this when she’s losing - finds a way to detract from her opponent’s victory. Predictable.

I knOw serena lost but what happened?

I feel most bad for Osaka whose first Slam win will be overshadowed by this, despite utterly outclassing an all time great today.
WhitePowerStroke
ESPN feed all day has her quote “Everyone was cheering for her, I feel bad it turned out this way”. Really do feel bad for her

Apparently not. Osaka 6-2 first set victory, up 4-3 with no visible strain before the shenanigans. Serena was outclassed today, it happens.

Remember when John just stated his opinion, she dissed at him on Twitter about privacy. Then does a semi nude photo shoot
GiantSizeManThing
I didn’t watch the US Open (because college football) and hadn’t heard about this. Your straight-shooting analysis is much appreciated.
Gianttesticlemonster
Watch the highlights. It was worse than last time when she berated and threatened violence on the lines woman

What happened

deegeeeeez
She went absolutely off on the chair umpire, calling him a liar and a thief.
ISeaNipple
...okay but also mention that he took a point away from her for breaking rules and thats why.
itslikedejavualloveragain
My only question is why is coaching not allowed? Seems like an odd rule
Bobeez
Yeah, well especially just gesturing from the stands, not even coaching. Just let them do that at least. Sheesh.
WhatUpIGotABigHawk
She’s now claiming the only reason she was penalized was because of sexism.
TastyLoadz
She’s pissed the ref rocks adidas
Bacicot
Guess she’s never heard of McEnroe getting penalized for his big mouth too
thelostg
I was going to say some thing about Johnny Mc.
PoliticalWanderer
1) This same ref has experienced much bigger rants and abuse from athletes without deducting points. I think Nadal said he was going to end
PoliticalWanderer
2) the ref's career. That didn't prompt the ref to deduct points from them. I bet there isn't a ref who didn't get cursed out by McEnroe
PoliticalWanderer
3) in a big game back in the 80s, and as far as I know he never got points deducted. Ref went way beyond normal by doing that.
terriblethunderlizards
i like how it wasn't even down to the wire where one call would matter. she got smoked. now she just looks like a whiner.
MrPuckett
I mean if I am being perfectly honest here dude...I would still hit it.

alexjonesisagayfrog
Wow now I agree with everything until you say “she could be a very positive role model” she is a very positive role model.
alexjonesisagayfrog
Did she act like a child here, yes. but she done so much for the sport of tennis and for women in sports in general
mrB3ND3R
Does doing “so much for the sport of tennis for women” really permit acting like a whiny bitch? I would think that’d tarnish her rep some.
alexjonesisagayfrog
Yeah I’m the same way the jeter faking getting hit with that ball tarnished his. It’ll be astory for a week and then forgotten
imnickson
I love to see emotion in sports, celebrating and anger. It makes it more fun to watch and shows that the athletes really care and are not...
imnickson
Just there to collect a check. Role models have many sides and emotions are one. I hate the sanitizing of sports just because some people...
imnickson
Can't handle it.
cowpiefatty
Okay ima get hate for this but this is some bull shit so many male athletes have said so so much worse and to refs and done worse and she1/?
HungarianOxPenisInABlender
Were they penalized on the court for points. If you yes then the only thing is that as a top player for a decade people expect quality
cowpiefatty
I don’t believe the ref did anything wrong but everyone hating her for lashing out when people get more mad at refs on tv is some bull.
cowpiefatty
Is getting all of this hate for getting mad at the ref when people get mad at the ref and yell at them all the time she thought it was a 1/?
cowpiefatty
Bad call ive heard parents say 10 times worse stuff at 5 year olds soccer games than what she said and shes the one getting massive hate1/?
cowpiefatty
For calling him a thief when she thought he stole a point from him. Regardless of the call she shouldnt be labels bad because she freaked1/?
cowpiefatty
In an extremely important tournament when she thinks the ref mad a bad call thats some hot bull shit man.
cowpiefatty
Like yes she acted inappropriately but not anymore than someone like kobe or something when they are irritated.
CosmoRaider
I agree and disagree, isnt there evidence that no man has been penalized/warned when in a similar situation?
Bobeez
Yes but, no man has also berated an official after being warned twice.
CosmoRaider
I'm not sure I understand, she is considered an asshole because she was given an unfair warning (because others havent received one before)
CosmoRaider
so demanded an apology, got upset and called the referees? What else did she do? Its human reaction to me for being treated unfairly imo
Bobeez
The coaching call was legit, and men are called for it, rarely tho. Smashed racket is a violation (dumb rule tho). Then she did abuse ref.
CosmoRaider
Ohh, I know the call was legit but I thought there was evidence that in a grand slam no man had ever been called for it.
