Serena Williams’ Controversial Rants during the U.S Open Women’s Final
Etonline.com: Serena Williams is not happy.
The U.S. Open ended on a sour note for the 36-year-old tennis pro, as she lost to 20-year-old Naomi Osaka (who became the first Japanese player to win a Grand Slam) on Saturday. The pair's match at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York, was interrupted by several issues between Williams and tournament officials, as umpire Carlos Ramos handed her several violations throughout the game.
The new mom was given her first violation for gestures made by her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. Things heated up when Williams smashed her racket and received her second violation. "You owe me an apology!" she said. "I have never cheated in my life!"
The argument continued to escalate, with Williams telling Ramos, "You stole a point from me. You're a thief, too!" The umpire called the exchange "verbal abuse," and Williams was issued a third penalty, allowing Osaka to beat her, 6-2, 6-4.
