Serena Williams accuses umpire of sexism and vows to 'fight for women'

RosieEggleston Sadly she’s going to end up being known as a loudmouth rather than her tennis ability.

Shameless.

An activist meeting or a tennis match.We know that you have a daughter now Serena and that you are a responsible mom.. but please.

Sexism? There were two women competing in the final right? Serena is a spoilt brat and an all out idiot. She’ll turn to the race card next. Wait, her opponent was SE Asian right?

Her ego has no limits. Serena need to calm herself down because does she really think women need someone like her making excuses for who she's fighting for? The nerve of her to proclaim herself as a hero to womanhood really shows how out of touch she really is. Get over yourself.

Serena Williams... spoilt brat!

If she was able to keep control of her emotions when losing, none of this would have happened. Her behaviour looked unacceptable irrespective of gender and she should think on that!

Not to state the obvious but was she playing against a dude?

Disgraceful that the Umpire helped her male opponent by following the rules. Oh wait a moment-was it a woman she was cheating against?

The umpire chose the beauty more than the ugliness. The grace rather than the heaviness. serenawilliams usopen

Refs card male footballers for similar, umpires in cricket are more sensitive, same happens in tennis. This isn’t a gender issue, if you’re so far up your own hype that you can’t accept decisions against you, please kindly get a dose of reality & be a good sportsperson/role model

Clearly a case of sour grapes. I hope she had the dignity and grace to congratulate Ms Osaka.

She should fight to control her temper and sense of entitlement

Problem ??

You’d get cautioned for the outburst in any other sport. Not racist, not sexist. Just the bitter smell of sour grapes.

Disgrace, lack of sportsmanship, really bad example for young athletes. This behaviour is for a fan, not for an allegedly "role model"

Roid Rage

Do the women still play less games than the gentlemen?

I feel sorry for Naomi Osaka. Her maiden grand slam title tainted by Serena Williams' infantile histrionics and obnoxious spectators. It gave the sport a black eye

'Sexism' is a red herring, says @GregRusedski1 – Serena Williams should apologise after overshadowing Naomi Osaka's big momentThe cries of “sexism” surrounding the Serena Williams story are a red herring. GregRusedski1 Umpire could have deescalated the situation, instead he chose the power play and aggravated bad behavior. Come back and say sexism and racism aren't a factor when you are not a white male. GregRusedski1 Both players were women only one was shouting at the match referee in a hostile manner GregRusedski1 Why can’t they just have female referees at these female tennis matches ! We know they won’t be paid the same amount as their male counterparts !
