'You Stole a Point from Me, You're a Thief Too': Serena Williams Breaks Down as She Argues [Trunc]
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | September 8, 2018 | Michelle Curran

Serena Williams came to blows with the umpire in the U.S. Open's Women's final as she accused him of 'stealing a point from her'.

Umpire Carlos Ramos issued a game penalty to the U.S star during her game against Japan's Naomi Osaka because the umpire accused her of getting coaching from the side lines.

The 23-time Grand Slam winner screamed at Ramos: 'Every time I play here, I have problems. I did not have coaching, I don't cheat. You need to make an announcement. I have a daughter and I stand for what's right. You owe me an apology.'

'For you to attack my character is wrong. You owe me an apology. You will never be on a court with me as long as you live. You are the liar. You owe me an apology. Say it. Say you're sorry.

'How dare you insinuate that I was cheating? You stole a point from me. You're a thief too. '

Moments later Williams crashed out of the final with Osaka winning 6-2, 6-4.

“Because I’m a woman you’re going to take this away from me. This is not right.”

Actually, the point was taken away because you are a man.

She threw an ongoing tantrum and ruined the victory for Osaka, to whom she was a childhood hero (gag).
Tomorrow, it’ll be all about racism, count on it.
Osaka had a great tournament and most importantly kept her cool.

You will never be on a court with me as long as you live.

So not-so-Serena Williams is retiring immediately? Too bad, so sad.

I was expecting an “I am Spartacus!” moment here.

Tennis seems to have a long history of these mouthy types.

Makes you wonder where it ever got the rep of being an upper-crust sport.

Her coach admitted in a post match interview that he was coaching from his seat. He said everybody does it. The chances that she apologizes to the ref are pretty slim I think.

Serena is an entitled drama queen. Glad to hear she lost. She can go commiserate with her SJW friends who also lose in finals, Colin Kaepernick and LeBron James.

Why does she remind me of Marshawn Lynch?

She should’ve just taken a knee, that would have solved all her problems.
