Tennis: Serena Fined $17,000 For U.S Open Code Violations by metronaija4: 6:12am On Sep 10, 2018
Serena Williams has been fined 17,000 dollars for the code violations she received during the U.S. Open final, the United States Tennis Association (USTA) said on Sunday.

During Saturday’s match, which she lost 6-2 6-4 to Japan’s Naomi Osaka, Williams was handed a coaching violation and a point penalty for breaking her racquet before a heated argument with umpire Carlos Ramos ended with her losing a game.

The tournament referee’s office fined the former world number one 10,000 dollars for the “verbal abuse” of Ramos, 4,000 dollars for being warned for coaching and 3,000 dollars for smashing her racket.

Williams, who was seeking a record-equaling 24th Grand Slam singles title on Saturday, vigorously disputed each of the violations during the match.

Umpire Ramos is the GOAT (greatest of all time).

What a brave man...

Other Umpires overlooking such shii are a disgrace to Tennissmiley

like i said in another post, Serena just overplayed her celebrity card, and when it didnt favour her, she decided to use the sexism card as her back up sympathy option

even her coach confessed to coaching her, so what's her fuss about...

True winner sees opportunities in failure.Something just went out of the way and Serena went hysterical.If things are not going your way don't lose your head just keep calm and you will back on winning path.
