dear serena, when your getting beaten by a better player on the day best not to be a cow and start blaming others.

they wont overturn the umpires ruling and all you get is a reputation of being a bad sport.

Serena Williams's US Open final breakdown blow-by-blow

 

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-09/serena-williams-us-open-breakdown-blow-by-blow/10218962

 

last week it was an umpire grilled for 'helping' nick kyrios. and i agreed, umpires are not there to offer support to players, just do their job.

that includes watching coaches incase they attempt to 'help' their player if that players having problems, thats not allowed.

even if the player says they didnt see the coaches signals.

her coach has admitted to coaching from the box, end of story. 1st warning.

serenas destroying of rackets, cant argue with that either. 2nd warning.

then abusing the umpire, ok i may think being called a thief is no big deal, this umpire did, and thats all that matters. 3rd warning/penalty.

 

serena is no beginner here, shes a very seasoned professional. she knows when your on a 2nd warning you shut up and play.

to argue now it was over the top, no serena you were over the top, you have no excuse for your behaviour.

 

its obvious she wants to break the record of grandslams and shes not handling the pressure.

pity her actions have completely over shadowed the japanese girls win.

 

shame on her!

This is typical Serena, nothing is new.

 

She views herself as the Queen and can't stand being beaten.

How dare her opponent outplay her!

She loses the plot and tries to put her opponent off by becoming 

aggressive. She tries to bully the person into submission.

 

This time it didn't work so she played the sexist card.

 

What really upset me was Osaka was robbed of her moment and 

even apologised to Serena. Again, this is typical. Serena stole her

moment to make the US Open about the victim, not the victor.

As usual, she wins the attention.

Agree, have always thought of the two Williams sisters as spoilt attention seekers.

They played some great tennis but never liked them.

 

Take me back to the days of Steffi Graf and Stefan Edberg anyday.
