Sportdab:
Serena Williams has reacted to her fued with US Open final umpire Carlos Ramos by saying he would not have treated a man in the same way.

Serena allegedly branded Ramos a 'thief' during the final in a incredible match Flushing Meadows as she lost 6-2 6-4 to Naomi Osaka.

Serena refused to shake Umpire Ramos after the match having been given a game penalty for her outburst.

This came after Serena was accused of being coached from the sidelines.

She received a code violation and then smashed her racquet before having the game taken off her for the thief comment.

When asked if she would change anything from incident, Williams went on another rant, claiming men would not be treated how she was.

“I don't know,” she said.

“You definitely can't go back in time. I can't sit here and say I wouldn't say he's a thief, because I thought he took a game from me.

“But I've seen other men call other umpires several things. I'm here fighting for women's rights and for women's equality and for all kinds of stuff.

“For me to say 'thief' and for him to take a game, it made me feel like it was a sexist remark. He's never taken a game from a man because they said 'thief'.

“For me it blows my mind. But I'm going to continue to fight for women and to fight for us to have equal -- like Cornet should be able to take off her shirt without getting a fine. This is outrageous.

“I just feel like the fact that I have to go through this is just an example for the next person that has emotions, and that want to express themselves, and want tobe a strong woman.

“They're going to be allowed to do that because of today. Maybe it didn't work out for me, but it's going to work out for the next person.”

Asked why she thought the Umpire was a thief, Serena said: “Because he took a point from me,” she added.

“He alleged that I was cheating, and I wasn't cheating. Then I had a good conversation with him. I said, Listen, you know my character. You know me really well. Like you know that I don't even call for on-court coach. I don't even do that.

“He's like, You know what? I understand. I don't know if he said, You're right. But he understood. He's, like, Yeah, I get what you're saying.

“Then when I sat down, I said it again. I was, like, Just to be clear, I can understand what you saw because it may have looked -- just because I look at my box, it may have looked like I was getting coaching, but I'm telling you, that's not what I do. I said, I'd rather lose than have to cheat to win. I don't need to cheat to win. I've won enough. That's never been something I've ever done, you know.

“And he was cool. He was like, Oh, I get it. We had this great exchange. We were on the same page. We understood each other, and I felt that that was -- yeah.”

if you did, then listen:

The thought of losing an important match to a fair opponent gladdens your heart.
But, to think that an umpire will make a change of judgement because she's a woman making that call, broke her heart. In a masculine self, what Serena is saying is, it would not have happened!

She wanted a fair final; and the umpire just made it look different.
Nobody's going to like that. Not a champ! wink

I've been following this news and I like the fact that the tennis federation is solidly behind the umpire.

I didn't watch the game live, but had to go back and see what the headlines was for. And truth be told, Serena Williams is wrong on all counts. How can you call someone a liar and a thief, then in the next breath, claim to be fighting for women and equality? She should be fined heavily for this.
Maybe Being rude and verbally abusive might be one of the qualities needed to fight for Women and equality?

You ought to be ashamed of yourself. This is the same comments white men used to make when she was beating their blue eyed princesses.

Serena has earned the right to make her comments. She is the greatest female tennis player ever, and I guess no one in your whole family has achieved 1% of what she has.

And this is inspite of the extreme racism black tennis players have had to endure.


23 grand slams and counting. We need that 24thr title to remove that Australian woman from the records.

It’s going to be tough to get to 24 but somehow she will make it.

For those who can’t reason properly, this is Serena’s 2nd final since returning from child birth - which in itself is an inspiration for all working mothers worldwide.

Williams calm down, accept the loss. Its appalling when women play the sexist card when decision don't favour them, and she played against another female, not even a male. fighting for women right is Osaka not a woman.
angry
She's not playing the "sexist card", the umpire is sexist.
Male players say far worse things than "thief".

And by the way, Nadal and Djokovic have accused this same umpire of being selective when it comes to enforcing rules.

Hello nairalanders. I really need your advise please.
Concerning the MSME programm that was organised in all states. I happen to visitt one in Oyo State but to my surprise, I found all that they request go totally away from whaat the told us at the programm.
They requested for too many thigs as if to send us away. The worst being request to pay 10% of the total load being reqursted for, to be paid upfront. As we all know that there is scamming everywhere even Nigerians are beng scammed by their goverments.( GNLD, MMM etc are good examples. These people operated in Nigeria with the conecnt of the government).
Thus after providing qualaterals as suretee for loan of =N=10,000,000. You still pay =N=1,000,000 ufront. And for =N=5,000,000 loan, you still pay =N=500,000. Please is there anybody who can witness haven benefited as I fear I may lose the money.

is Osaka a man? its just like saying a refree in a football match gave a player a red card in a match and in another match of similar offence he gave another player a yellow card. its at the discretion of the refree or umpire to issue whatever warning he deems fit.

Can imagine how it feels


Its like when those Shitta Amala women over dish goat meat for you and you already happy and celebrating in your mind, only for them to come to your table later that they gave you 3 excess goat meet.

You just use style to count again and return the excesses

Sexism would be a bit difficult to stick, she should have tried racism. Dumb clown.

It was the referee that helped you smash your racket on the floor.

She's claiming she was victimised cos she's a lady. The small girl that beat her is male, abi?
Nonsense and ingredients.

Serena should retire, she's making a global mockery of her legacy and is constituting a nuisance.

I hope she doesn't end up like zinedine zidane
