    Hasn't Williams had multiple retrospective TUEs?

      She doubled down on the sexist thing at the press conference.

      So she'll be protected by her idiot enablers and go back to her ridiculously opulent life while the poor umpire will no doubt be crucified and never umpire a major game again.

        @rocky-rockbottom Not since the 2008 Rugby League World Cup final has there been a more embarrassing awards ceremony following the game. The US Open official basically insults the winner Osaka by saying that everyone is disappointed that Serena didn't win.

          I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

          Just sprung to mind.

            With very few exceptions, all the media hot takes are standing up for Serena condemning the deplorable male ump for his rampant sexist racism and the usual atrocties. With very few exceptions, because news media is overwhelmingly staffed by biased SJW nutjobs who only care about sports insofar as they can libsplain and push their “progressive” brainwashing agenda.

                    I'll have to watch ESPN's Around the Horn and PTI to see what they say. Wilbon is a Serena fanboy so he'll likely be defending her.

                          That would be hilarious. He could offer to pay her fine out of his own pocket and a MAGA cap.

                            The meltdown from the cretins who have been excusing her behaviour would be something to behold .

                                    Petulant is a great description of Williams.

                                    Now she has lost 2 finals in a row she will be even more desperate as that one title to equal Margaret Court will seem further away.

                                      She really is the Nick Kyrgios of women's tennis. Then goes one step lower by playing the racism and sexism cards afterwards to justify her childish behaviour.

                                      Too much time hanging out narcissistic A-list celebrities has left her head well and truly buried up her own ass. Her older sister seems very level headed by comparison.

                                        @no-quarter dicks on Breakfast were defending her this morning claiming Kyrgios gets away it and is labelled 'cheeky' for his antics...not sure I seen to many people say he is cheeky.

                                        Feel for that poor Japanese girl in all this, she wins her first tournament against her child hood idol (wonder if she still looks up to her...) and all anyone talks about is poor discriminated Serena!

                                          @taniwharugby haha now they're just making shit up. Kyrgios gets torn to shreds by all and sundry when he plays up like that, to the point that you start to feel a bit sorry for the bloke - in fact I remember Federer feeling like he needed to come to his defense as the hate was getting so toxic.

                                          That's like the myth that females get more abuse online than males, when basically all studies done state the opposite is true. Idiots in the media just make up bullshit to suit the narrative they are trying to push.
