I'm thinking Serena might lose twenty pounds this winter and sweep the four major tournaments net year never losing a set.
the Title IX chics are coming after you!
Serena = Lance
So many commenters here ignorant of the game of tennis, its history and its rules. The sport's professional umpires are now considering a boycott of Williams' matches until she apologises to Carlos Ramos for the attack on his integrity. Collective action of this kind against a player has never occurred before in the history of the game. Another double standard? More sexism - or even worse? More picking on Serena? Yeah, right. Billie Jean King now says William's behaviour was unacceptable but that Ramos "blew it". Oh - so he caused the Williams tantrum? King said he should have explained to Williams he wasn't attacking her character. Like one talks to an upset child, presumably. Good God! A coaching violation is simply that - and Williams knows that. She turned it into an assassination of her character. To try to put him in the wrong. Gaslighting. That's what narcissists do. It was not for the umpire to buy into that self-serving distraction. The coaching violation occurred, he called it - as the rules say he is required to do. As Ramos said today, arbitration of tennis matches "is not a la carte". It is also irrelevant to the violation as to whether the player saw it. (Although Chris Evert observed Williams changed her tactics in response to her coach's signals). Throwing your racquet isn't automatically a violation - many do that - but smashing it on court is. Arguing with an umpire isn't a violation - many do that - but accusing an official of dishonesty is. There are other players who have behaved badly on a tennis court. Many have been penalised for it. Some - like McEnroe - disqualified. It has always caused controversy. But Williams stands alone for reducing a grand slam final to a debacle through the excesses of her own conduct. It is reassuring to hear that some in the game have had enough. Let's hope the umpires make that call.

It's easy to act nice when you win. True character shows through in how you lose. Serena is a TERRIBLE loser.
I'm sure her fans will argue that's what makes her so great, but to me, that just makes her a nasty person.
+1
Umpire just be doing his job. Umpire could just have been a she or a they and Serena still would’ve been or shoulda been penalized. This has nothing to do with bias but has everything to do with bad behavior and enforcement of rules.
Not fair to umpire (he, she or they) to expect consistency with treatment of athetes or situations from years or decades past. Umpire just needs to be consistent with self. Seems to me (anecdotally) that this ump has ticked off male players in the past too. So looks to be somewhat consistent with himself. Doesn’t seem like he’s penalized a male (or another female) a whole game in the past, but probably because no one else crossed the line the way SW did
She has form. What year did serena threaten a lady linesperson with violence?

The double standard here is that if a domestic abuser acted the way Serena acted ... no-one would be saying it was up to the victim to alter how they responded to the abuser.
The deafening silence from Serena's camp over the past 3-4 days really tells a story. If this were really about sexism, racism, motherism or whatever, they'd using it as a launchpad for a campaign.
Serena went to the press conference and point blank said that she never got coaching from the sidelines.
Could you go in front of 100 journalists and straight out lie like that?
I would at least try to avoid it.
Is she a sociopath? Or most people can do that easily.
(She was obviously not fully aware with the fact that her coach said that he did it and he does it 100% of the times like everybody else)
Back at Wimbledon, Serena was complaining about how often she gets drug-tested.
To twice bring up her integrity being questioned in such a short timeframe begins to raise questions.

You don’t get that good at telling lies and deflecting without a lot of prior experience.
I never believed it before, but after seeing her act on Saturday, I now believe that she may be Lanced. She proved that she is ready to lie, cheat and attack to win and more importantly that she can lie extremely well. She may be even better at that than Lance.

There's nothing serene about Serena.

Coaching my butt. Pro tennis players know what they are doing. She knows when to attack the net and when to stay back and volley. Ridiculous on too many levels.

Lol
Her coach said on national TV that he was (as he always does) coaching her from the stands. He was smart enough not to lie because there is hundreds of videos online of him coaching her from the stand (we are in 2018 after all). Also, he probably doesn’t lie as well as Serena.
Thanks for trying however.
https://youtu.be/rvX9Xca50oQThe lie: “I did not get coaching from the box and I never did. I don’t cheat” (Lance: l never took PED)
The justification: “I am a mother and what type of role model would I be” (Lance: I am a cancer survivor, why would I take that risk)
The attack: “you are attacking my integrity. Apologize to me. You will never be the umpire in any of my games as long as you live. You are a thief” (Lance: I will sue you)
Both Lance and Serena were at the very top. Is it a coincidence that both will do whatever it takes. I believe that there was is nothing that she will not do to be the best
“I am a mother and what type of role model would I be”
Hmmm ... so this is how she's teaching her daughter to express anger?
The terrible two's are going to be interesting ...

Don’t knock it. It served her very well up to now. How much prize money did she get for her 2nd place at the US Open? She may be making more money than Lance ever did.
