Serena Williams meltdown at US Open tennis tournament

You are a thief! You are a thief! You owe me an apology! You owe me an apology! You owe me an apology! You owe me an apology! You owe me an apology! When am I going to get my apology?

This is not fair for Naomi Osaka.

I will say that she feels Men get away with poor behavior while she got penalized, but she took the whole thing too far, even to what she said after the match. Suddenly she's waving the Feminist Banner?
And during the match she should have understood continuing to lose her cool would just dig herself a deeper hole.
She's been playing for too long to be so emotional and dramatic.

I am too, and I'm glad they hit that fat, obnoxious, egotistical bitch with $17,000 in fines. If I had been in charge, I would have fined her the maximum $60,000. She is a DISGRACE to tennis and to sports! The one commentator said he had never seen anything like it in tennis, and I agree. I think she should be banned for a period of time.

Seems to me she was losing and just wanted to blame the umpire.

I never have either. She's a whiny, obnoxious, egotistical ass with an exaggerated sense of entitlement! And she played the woman card, and the victim card. People who do that are losers!

Everyone wants to refer to Naomi Osaka as "Japanese." Her father is Haitian, she moved to the USA at age three and does not speak fluent Japanese. She does have dual citizenship, but I'm getting the message she's as American as any other kid who grew up in Florida or wherever in the USA. She may represent Japan as a professional for practical reasons (a better chance at competing in certain tourneys), but when I look and listen to her, I don't think, "oh, she's Japanese."

AMEN! I couldn't believe those assholes were CHEERING her for her DISGRACEFUL behavior!

She's a human being with faults. She had a child not long ago, maybe her hormones are out of whack. She and her sister overcame a very average upbringing - Straight Outta Compton - playing on public courts, an overbearing father, and broke ground, created history. Serena may be the greatest female tennis player ever, and she had a bad day.
I've never liked SW much, I think Venus is prettier (whatever that's worth), but I don't think it's right for everyone to dog pile on her for having a bad day. People like McEnroe and Connors were notoriously ill behaved, and that's one of Serena's points, It's a double standard. She feels she was treated harshly when a man would have been given more leeway. I agree she acted immature and I did not enjoy watching it, but people are so quick to condemn someone for speaking out rather than meekly accepting what seems like injustice.

Amen! Tennis USED to be a classier sport, but arrogant, whiny, obnoxious, egotistical assholes like SW have brought the sport down to the gutter.


😎

I have no clue. But truth be told, she's probably going to to get away with this DISGRACEFUL behavior because she's black, and she's a woman. People are afraid to be called racists and misogynists if they come down hard on her. I would have fined her the maximum $60,000, and would also BAN her from tennis for a period of time.

No it didn't taint the win. That's just your assertion. Anyone who watched the match or listens to intelligent sports commentary knows Naomi had the match very well in hand and Serena would have had to make a furious comeback.
Yes, the incident was regrettable, but I'll not condemn Serena nor discount Naomi for the victory.

That is sad. That win will definitely feel like something she'd rather forget I'd imagine.
Hopefully Williams will apologise when she has calmed down.
