UnfairRepresent 09/09/18 5:22:14 AM #1:	After a controversial call by the U.S. Open chair umpire contributed to her defeat in Saturday's women's title match, Serena Williams asserted that tennis has different standards for men and women. Williams, 36, on Saturday suffered a swift 6-2, 6-4 loss to Naomi Osaka, who became the tournament's first female Japanese champion. It happened after Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, appeared to be thrown off her game -- after being penalized in the second set because of three separate game violations. Williams got the first violation from umpire Carlos Ramos, who ruled that Williams received coaching earlier in the set; she told him she'd "rather lose" than cheat. I didnt get coaching, Williams said multiple times. I dont cheat! I didnt get coaching. How can you say that? You owe me an apology. I have never cheated in my life! She was given a second violation for smashing her racquet, and again yelled at the chair umpire who had given her the first warning. You are attacking my character, she continued. You will never ever ever be on another court of mine as long as you live. Her third violation came after she called the umpire a thief, leading to the automatic loss of a game. You stole a point from me; youre a thief, too, she insisted. The umpire instantly awarded a game to Osaka, citing a verbal abuse call against Williams. It was at this point that Williams sought out the referee and argued that the harsh call had been made because of her gender. Do you know how many other men do things that are much worse than that? This is not fair. Theres a lot of men out here that have said a lot of things, and because they are men, that doesnt happen to them, she said to the referee. There are men out here that do a lot worse but because Im a woman, because Im a woman youre going to take this away from me? That is not right. Williams stood by her performance at the post-match news conference, saying: Ive seen other men call other umpires several things and Im here fighting for womens rights and for womens equality. Later Saturday, Williams received some support in the form of tweets from tennis legend Billie Jean King. "Several things went very wrong during the @usopen Womens Finals today," King wrote. "Coaching on every point should be allowed in tennis. It isnt, and as a result, a player was penalized for the actions of her coach. This should not happen. "When a woman is emotional, shes hysterical and shes penalized for it," King continued. "When a man does the same, hes outspoken & and there are no repercussions. Thank you, @serenawilliams, for calling out this double standard. More voices are needed to do the same." Williams coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, later admitted to an ESPN reported that I was coaching. Im honest, I was coaching. I mean I dont think she looked at me so thats why she didnt even think I was but I was like 100 percent of the coaches on [sic] 100 percent of the matches. He said that he believes that rules like this are killing tennis. I have always said it. Not to allow the players to express their feelings is stupid, I mean its not a big deal breaking racquets. Williams said later at the press conference: I dont need to cheat to win. Ive won enough. Thats never been something Ive ever done, you know. Full ARticle: http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2018/09/09/serena-williams-accuses-umpire-sexism-in-us-open-loss.html Sounds like a sore loser to me. The chick who kicked your ass had lady-parts too ya'know? Maybe next time just don't cheat rather than complain men get away with cheating.
