These comments reeks of disgust, Serena wasn't playing a victim card, Ramos definitely went too far with the cold violations and he was biased, it was glaring to the extent that the whole stadium booed him and N.Osaka when she was handed the trophy.

It was sexism at its peak, becos male counterparts like Nadal and especially Nick Kyrgios have done waaayyyy much worse than that.

If u really watch tennis, you will know Serena's style of play, she always conserves energy by conceding in the first few sets but unleashes her inner beast by always coming back to win.She's a phenomenal athlete, definitely not a sore loser and was evidenced by how she gracefully comforted Osaka and was hushing the whole stadium when they all turned against the little girl.

Congrats to Osaka on a good, well deserved victory. End of an Era.

First it was Messi, now it's Serena Williams. The GOATs are leaving

Ahmeduana:
Have never seen a coloured Japanese.

bigtt76:
Exactly! She should have retired long time ago. She can't expect to be winning against girls of her age when she first became champion ....should by now be mentoring young American girls instead she wan compete with them. Now playing the 'because I'm a woman' card haba! Come join her daughter put sef

Blonchilli:

Bro I've given up on Nairaland. Just so they can be first to comment or get likes they post rubbish. Ramos was at fault and even though the boos weren't entirely for Osaka viewers weren't pleased and a lot of professional have come out to stand by Serena. What the umpire did was controversial, disgraceful and unfair to Serena. In the heat of it she broke down and we're proud of her but 10mb data users who haven't contributed nothing to society have an opinion on tennis rules they know nothing about. It's hard luck for Serena tbh. Well done to Osaka, I know those ignoramus up there don't even know despite she's Japanese she can't speak the language because she's more Hawaiian-American than Japanese

obaataaokpaewu:
Because you are a woman? At least you were playing with your fellow woman

mysticwarrior:
Naomi Osaka the lady with a black skin and a Japanese face, she is now the new conqueror in tennis, watch out for this young Blasian soon she will become an empress in world lawn Tennis championship.

Gullah:
Serena seems more interested in being an activist than concentrating on her game, she stupidly threw away this game in my opinion

Hanji:
Her losing spirit is synonymous to that of cristiano ronaldo both are sore losers.

Serena Williams had a shot to make history on Saturday at the US Open, as a victory over Naomi Osaka in the women's singles final would've given her 24 career Grand Slam singles titles, tying the all-time record held by Australia's Margaret Court. However, the 20-year-old Osaka upset Williams to take home the first major victory of her pro career. Her win was also historic in its own right, as Osaka becomes the first Japanese woman to win a Grand Slam final.

Osaka is now two for two in matches against Williams after beating her at the Miami Open in March earlier this year. On Saturday at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York, Osaka took down Williams in consecutive sets, 6-2, 6-4.

Osaka got off to a commanding start in the first set, then prevailed in what turned out to be a controversial second set. As Serena was attempted to play herself back into the match, she was penalized a game because her coach was allegedly making hand signals, which results in code violation. Chair umpire Carlos Ramos leveled a game penalty for the coaching violation, which left Williams incensed.

She smashed her racket on the court, which resulted in another violation, before demanding an apology from Ramos.

"You owe me an apology. I have never cheated in my life! I have a daughter and I stand for what's right for her," Williams told Ramos on the court. "I don't cheat to win. I'd rather lose."

"This has happened to me before. This is not fair. There are a lot of men out here who have said a lot of things and do not get that punishment. Because I am a woman you are going to take this away from me? That is not right."

Shortly after, Williams surrendered that second set and the match went to Osaka.

For Williams, this is her second runner-up finish since returning to tennis following the birth of her daughter. She also finished second at Wimbledon this July, falling to Angelique Kerber in the final.

d rather lose.

shawlar:
Serena has beaten a lot of top class tennis players in her career without needing to cheat, is it when playing with Naomi Osaka that she’ll resort to cheating.. I don’t mean to belittle Osaka’s skill or talent but I’m sure she would have loved to win w...........ithout the controversies that the umpire created.
