    Well, u should see this. Umpire charged her with a point penalty bc he believed she got coaching. As soon as she realised that, she started talking in a rude, arrogant manner. Then she got a game penalty. Osaka was given a free game without serving at all. Officials joined the show but umpire's decision could not change. She eventually lost the game and got what she deserved. So fed up with her pathetic behaviour all these years. Congrats Osaka.

    Lost a lot of respect for her trying to play the "sex card" to rationalize her calling the chair ump a "thief"  You were clearly getting coaching and got caught, you got your warning.  Knowing you already burned thru your warning you then smash your racket and get your 1st violation.  Then you think you can sit in the change over and berate the chair ump.  While it's true, the men do say similar things to the chair ump...it's rarely on the 3RD VIOLATION.

    How the hell do you know that for sure? For F sakes, everyone is a friggin psychic. Coach could've been just caught in the middle of his emotions, doing those moves with his hands unintentionally or whatever. Just shut the fk up unless you got the facts.

    Players should have more respect for the umpires. They make mistakes but most of the times they are not intntional. I don't think Ramos made any mistakes tonight. Serena ruined the final and I was sorry to see the crowd supporting her as if she was right. How can sb cheer for an athlete who disrespects the umpire and the rules of the game and boo the umpire bc he does his job right? Sure the game penalty was a harsh decision and at a crucial point of the match but it was well deserved.

    How the hell do you know that for sure? For F sakes, everyone is a friggin psychic. Coach could've been just caught in the middle of his emotions, doing those moves with his hands unintentionally or whatever. Just shut the fk up unless you got the facts.

     

    Could be the fact that the coach admitted he was coaching?  So I guess....I got the facts?  Try again...

    Is both an acceptable answer?  He could have said to her "Keep talking to me like that and I will give you a game point violation" and go from there.  But at the same time, she had 2 violations prior.  Entitled to think she wouldn't get a 3rd violation for continuing on...perhaps.  She's sitting in the post game interview still trying to play the sexist card.

    whenever i watch nadal or sloan stephens they are getting coached during the game.

    who cares about respecting an umpire she kept it civil the first few quarrels but past that those people paid to see serena not some guy calling the game.  i hate when umpires/refs in any sport think theyre bigger than the game.

    no he doesn't need to take that and warn her 5 times before he finally gives her a penalty she knew what she was doing. Getting her ass kicked and deflect blame to the ump. Classless pos

    There's a certain civility to every game, in regard to decorum towards umps/refs.  And there's a penalty for every sport.  Every player knows that penalty.  She knew she was potentially on her way to a 3rd violation, it's bad enough demanding an apology over and over...but you then call him a thief.  In terms of interaction towards the ump, she deserved the penalty at that point.  Claiming the men do it and playing the sexist card is pretty shitty on her part.  Yes, the men swear and curse and yell at an ump.  They get get their warning, or violation and move on.  They don't do it when they are on their 3rd violation.  If she can't wrap her head around that....then she doesn't deserve to speak on it.  Sorry, but if I'm a fan there in the stadium...I didn't pay to watch Serena break the rules...then whine and cry about it.  I would have paid to watch good tennis...and saw that up until 6-2 4-3.  She lost her cool after that...and it cost her.

    I think it was a combo of her being down a set, Osaka outplaying her...and a dash of entitlement.  But yes, she knew a potential 3rd violation would have happened and still rolled the dice.

    I’m very happy she lost. She accuses the umpire of attacking her character, but then calls him a thief? Is that not attacking his character?

    Ridiculous for this to happen in US Open finals
    1.  All the coaches signal the players so either enforce it every time or never
    2.   The men swear, curse, and throw their rackets all the time without consequence.
    3.  If the umpire can’t take being called a thief then he should not be umpiring.   Much more importantly, if he was considering taking a point away he should have warned her.
    4.  It is just as ridiculous that the umpire didn’t explain his actions to the fans.

    1)  Yes, coaching happens all the time.  It also gets warned quite often despite what some may think.  I will agree that they should just allow it to take place.  It's quite ineffective to punish it randomly.  And only made worse when it happens on this stage in a final.  

    2)  As had been stated.  Yes, they swear...curse etc...  It's often met with the warning, and a point violation.  Most men say their peace and move on.  Stating it happens without consequence just isn't true.  They are just smart enough to not get the 3rd offense.

    3)  The umpire envoked the "abusive language" for his reasoning.  Her demanding an apology was the start of it, but calling him a "thief" was a verbal jab and she frankly didn't need to go down that rabbit hole.  He had every right to give her a violation.  As far as him needing to notify of her if he was "considering taking a point away"  He did...with the first 2 violations.

    4)  The ceremony was not the time or place to explain it to the fans.  They were already booing things in general, and frankly likely ruined the biggest moment of Osaka's career.
