Serena was like "I can't believe you'd attack my character! You owe me an apology!" She then proceeds to attack the ref's character by calling him a sexist and a thief. Totally lost respect for Serena Williams.
It's not so unusual Corey. In the heat of the moment, when some one questions your integrity it's natural to want to strike back. I mean its not like we are talking about saint Serena. Tennis players respond like that all the time and that's the point. Her reaction to being accused of cheating, in a grand slam final on an historic record breaking occation wasn't so unusual, but his punishment was. I watch tennis all the time and I can't remember anyone recieving a GAME penalty. A point deduction yes but not a whole game.
This is a contractionary statement. At first you need to have a character we can be attacked upon. She's a crybaby and bad loser, which doesn#t count as a character in my book.
I think you forget, she lost at wimbledon this year as well (no histrionic). She has won many but she has also lost many grand slam finals. But these type of incidents tend to happen only at the US open that's why she got so up set.
@@beyondthepage9389 not really. She does those things only in the US Open because she has support of the crowd and the media there. She knows they will side with her, as they did.
She's a manipulative sore loser. Remember that once she threatened to "shove the fucking ball in the fucking throat" of a woman because of another penalty.
@@beyondthepage9389 please dont attempt to just her actions, shes a disgrace
I think Serena owes Naomi an apology.
Mark Wu her ego is too big unfortunately
Without a doubt, Serena robbed Naomi of the joy winning her first Grand Slam. Sad day for women's tennis.
Mark Wu ,why, because she's black?
She also owes REAL victims and and all of tennis an apology.
The hell do you mean "you people"? and to answer your previous comment, she owes Osaka an apology due to the fact that she acted like an entitled brat at what is the pinnacle of Osaka's career at this point.
I don't know Serena Williams but I hope she feels embarrassed about her behavior and apologizes to Naomi Osaka.
..And the umpire
That apology will never come, sadly.
and the ref
Nah, I don't believe she will. Her heated statement during the incident just shows a bit on how she truly think about herself, which basically "I am the the unbeatable that can't possibly lose", thus why she resort to unrelated issue such as having a daughter, etc. Especially after all that winnings, she feel like she's invincible. No one is better than her. Thus she's in denial and turned to blaming the umpire and doing rather.. distasteful thing.
Unless after that, she got loses streak. THEN she will start to understand she's not as high as she think she is, nor is she entitled to be given leeway for the rules.
Personally, I think people that can't accept that they lose are the one that needs to be beware of. If they can pick themselves up and learn what make they lose in the first place, their growth would be great compared with Selena kind of mentality. I mean 2 years after this incident, she lost at another U.S Open, Canadian Open, Auckland Open, and Wimbledon. Soo yeah.
She says to the other refs, "this has happened to me too many times" Really? Well maybe you should look at your behavior if that's the case. Shame on all those people booing.
DaveCo777 Exactly!
americans..
and shame on serena herself.
@@elshan115 what about Americans?
@Duncan we are emotional
It doesn't matter what gender, race or colour you are. The behaviour and conduct of Serena was utterly disgraceful!
Agreed. And her threat to him that he'd never ref one of her games again - is utterly disgraceful and uncalled for to threaten his job like that. How would you like it if someone publicly humilated you and threatened your job at work in front of hundreds of people simply for doing your job - where does that say about the persons character? In a work place that behaviour is classified as bullying. He is in his work place - we should create healthy work environments!
True.
she played long enough to know better and be better. 3 code violations and still harassing the gold badge umpire. Sore loser!
She's extremely immature. I don't care if she's married with a kid. Emotionally she's about 12.
serena pulled out all the cards, the race card, mother card, gender card, trans card, religion card, every card but the truth card
Admir Halvadzič hahahah SHE SURE DID !!! None of them worked hahaha
Race card?? you want that to be there & have ended up invented it.
You got those rights!
Copied comment
Low IQ
I loved how Serina during the trophy ceremony tried to take the spotlight by comforting the crowd and Oasaka saying "stop the booing". She with her tantrum started the whole thing. She never once even take any ownership of this whole disgraceful act of hers. I've never been a Serena fan but respected her as an accomplished athlete. But after this, I WILL NEVER EVER root for her and any respect that I have for her is completely GONE!
Totally agree with you Jake. No words to describe her ugly behaviour.
Also: "I know it's not what we wanted; we'll get through this". The sheer fucking arrogance of assuming everyone was wanting her to win
So true....A mother with Such a Abusive mouth and No Sport Ethics.
Jake you think that Serena tried to take the spotlight by asking the crowd to stop booing. And if she had said nothing you'd have probably criticised her for that as well. Wow!!... You just can't win when haters are around.
I didn't say I was a hater of her. I had respect for her and her sister as well. I actually liked watching Serena over her sister. It was how she acted towards the chair umpire. She acted so entitled because she's Serena. As a matter of fact, had she said nothing I would've respected that. It's absolutely ridiculous that the umpire wasn't invited at the trophy ceremony as a result of her behavior.
If I ever get caught speeding and pulled over by a cop and wants to give me a ticket ...my excuse ?? " I have a daughter " and I fight for her ! And tell the cop you owe me an aologoy lol
Well, if you video it and go on 'the view' then you will probably come out on top.
I hope the cop has a taser
@kanishq lol
Also be sure to identify as the opposite gender as the cop so you can call them sexist.
Unless the cop is an attack helicopter, don't mess with those people. You take the ticket and say thank you.
Make sure to also tell the cop that everyone else was speeding too and ask why they weren't pulled over.
The crowd booing Naomi is an absolute disgrace. Extremely shameful.
Oh don't worry, the whole internet is coming down on Serena hard!
They didn't boo her. They booed the umpire.
They should have booed Serena. Absolute disgrace to tennis.
disgusting. reminds me of RG99 but that was worse becaude they were doing it while the game was still happening.
Chokey Smurf you dunno what the fuck you talking bout son, how is anyone minimising her Haitian heritage? Race baiting idiot
Naomi deserved better and should’ve gotten her spotlight.
Yang Lee medium.com/@politicspeach/serena-williams-owes-naomi-osaka-an-black-woman-an-apology-ac54eaec3a22
Yang Lee She .....Serena should just Kill herself.....
The amount of feminist hypocrisy going on here is unreal! All those media women supporting Serena's outburst and claiming she's a great role model and standing up for women.....are they totally ignorant to the fact she not only bullies and threatens female umpires and lineswomen, but has totally ruined Naomi's first moment of glory with her own spoiled and self-centered behavior!? How exactly is that a great role model for women? What an embarrassment! And I feel really angry on behalf or Naomi who played an incredible game and behaved with dignity and class but has been completely overshadowed by this whole debate about non-existent sexism. What a mess!
100% agree
The state of American women's mentality is disgusting
soundseeker63, Were you horrified at Vanderweghe when she yelled at the ump and called her opponent a "fucking bitch" with no violations given? Were you upset at Pliskova when she broke a racket and a chair right in front of the ump with no points or games docked? Were you upset at Djokovic when he yelled at Ramos THIS YEAR calling him "crap" with no code violations or game given? How about when THIS YEAR, he made a threatening gesture to Ramos as if to throw a ball at him, and then threw a racket with no points and no game loss? You must have been just so choked when this year Murray called Ramos "stupid" and or in the past when he kicked a ball at the ump's head with no violations given? And you must have just been in tears when Nadal threatened Ramos and didn't get a violation? You poor thing! You must be on the internet crying and screaming about all the other ourageous behavior that tennis players ............. ......oh no wait, you just write crap on the internet when a black woman, the best tennis player ever, gets upset about an unfair call. Perhaps ths has much more to do with you being a sexist, racist loud mouth spewing phony ass outrage, than giving one single fuck about tennis.
@@JessBlake2 the question here, did they constantly berated the umpire? hey im not following tennis and im not in either country that's battling out on that court that day. but i am curious whether carlos ramos was also constantly berated by those male athletes but he didnt give a penalty or it was a quick outburts? theres different conditions at play here and whether you like it or not no two situations can be easily compared at face value.
have you looked into his track record for all the athletes during his career or you're just cherry picking one or two instances for your argument?
An unfair call??? SHUT UP ... nothing about unfair, Serena´s is just a bad loser! Nothing else... she wasn´t right und she could´t excepted it, that´s all and then she came with all the cards ... sexism (a joke) you are a thief ( for that, she should have been ejected!) it´s so unfair (what exactly, that you are loosing this match?) I got no Couching ( really, then, ask your own Couch, what he has to say about that!)
nuff said, everyone who stands for serena´s arguments should be ashamed by herself and Serena should retire after this, because no one with real integrity will root for her anymore and I REALLY HOPE SHE GETS BOOED FROM NOW ON ,FOREVER!
If a white dude behaves bad, it is ok for a black woman to do so just because he did and wasn't punished?? Something OTHER than race, could you have as an argument?? What about Naomi Osaka ? What role model are you for your daughter if you behave this way, and take the limelight of a young winner with nonsense like this? What role model are for your daughter when you lied saying your coach was giving you a thumbs up, but he said it was coaching you? If you are a black woman, you are entitled to do anything because 200 years ago some of your race people were slaves? IF the white dudes or mans in tennis in general, have bad behavior, you should do it yourself, even harder? Where were you to defend other women, players and referees, when Serena was ,mean to them?
Williams was so DESPERATE for attention (as always) that she just HAD to have her moment in the limelight. Never mind that she brazenly called the umpire a "thief" and that he "stole" a game from her. Never mind that she thinks she's so damned B-I-G in the sport that she alone gets to decide who Carlos Ramos umpires in the future. Never mind the fact that she reduced her vastly superior opponent to an embarrassed, hurt, shell-shocked, devastated onlooker on what SHOULD have been the greatest day of this young kid's life. No, it was all about the pathetic 'Serena Williams Show' and her galactic-sized ego.
The woman should face the harshest penalties possible for her shameful behaviour, but no, this is Serena Williams we're talking about, accordingly she'll probably walk away smelling of roses (eventually) because she's obviously bigger than the game of tennis itself. In her opinion, that is.
I'm so sorry for poor Naomi Osaka - her moment of triumph was sadly obliterated by a narcissist with no grace or decorum whatsoever.
Turrican60 I wouldn’t say desperate for attention
But that was totally idiotic what she did
And the fact that the crowd cheered her on was even worse
And that she tried to use having a daughter as an excuse
God that was all terrible
I wish Naomi Osaka had a sweeter victory
It's really hard to listen to her whine and it's hard to believe how the crowd sides with Serena.
the one who sided with her were idiot white guilt leftist who love to baby black people when they feel like they are attack
Pamela Riegel The crowd supported her because we’re living in a world where people support garbage, negativity and narcissists like Serena Willians. What a sad day in sports.
@@checoPH shut the hell up. The crowd supported her because it was the fucking US OPEN FOR GOD'S SAKE! Serena is an American.....follow me? Living in a world of negativity lol so dramatic
Same way dumb people praise people they think are 'rapping' that have shit on their faces that looks like dog poo. Society is a joke. Also most Americans are next level brainwashed. RIP world.
i agree
Thank you for not buying the sexism accusations. Shows how messed up people are these days, can't take any responsibility.
If she was a man they would not be doing that to her. She'd be in the men's tournament where she belongs.
U supremacists make rules that diminish or that is culturally biased and expect the ones that have nothing to do with making the rules obey them that's fucking supremacy
You are stuck on supremacist.
Why is that?
Only an inferior character blames personal failings on such nonsense.
The words you are speaking sir are called FACTS! Thank you!
She is a liar and a manipulator .It's a shame ,a mother can behave like this.
She was getting her ass kicked and got caught cheating by getting coach ed during the match young lady out classed her in every way l,big cry baby
i just feel so bad for Naomi. she was so happy to play Serena Williams, her idol, who she has idolised her entire tennis career, and to see her idol throw a temper tantrum on the court, claiming sexism to downplay Naomi’s win. Serena entirely destroyed Naomi’s idealistic view of her, turned her whole world upside down.
1) When the umpire gave her a warning for her coach coaching her, he was not questioning her morals. Her coach was clearly coaching her, and he even admitted to it. Only Serena knows if she actually saw it or not, and even then, it’s clear that her coach was giving her hand signals. It’s the rules, and it’s not the umpire’s fault that Serena took the code violation as a personal attack and a questioning of her morals.
2) She broke her racket. Period. There isn’t a doubt about it, and it’s in the rules to give a warning for that. Serena can claim sexism for all she wants, but the umpire was right in doing that.
3) The game point is where I think the umpire messed up a little bit. Serena was clearly questioning his personal character and was visibly agitated and attacking him, so I can understand why the umpire was upset, but the umpire should have attempted to calm Serena down, or say, “If you continue to shout and call me names, I’m going to have to give you a game point.” But who knows if Serena would have stopped even if he said that?
All in all, Serena, a 36 year old woman, threw a temper tantrum in a nationally broadcasted event because she was not winning. While Naomi, a girl half her age, handled everything so well, with elegance and grace, not badmouthing Serena one bit even though Serena managed to overshadow Naomi’s win with this controversy.
Serena would have lost even if the whole umpire situation didn’t happen. She was thoroughly outplayed by Naomi, and those are just the facts.
Question:
If the umpire was a woman and followed the rules like the male umpire did in the match, would Serena still claim sexism?
Overall, I can’t wait to see Naomi further her career. This is just the beginning for Naomi, and the beginning of the end for Serena.
w o k e she’s threatened other female judges and umpires before lol just search her angry compilations.. i wonder what the excuse was then
So in short, you like Naomi because she assumed stereotypical gender role (position) and Serena did not? Rules don't matter if they are not applied uniformly. Every person who has been discriminated against knows this.
serolog2 Fuck no. In what way that Naomi assume a “stereotypical gender role”? That’s playing the gender card against another woman and trying to spin Williams’ faults into being Naomi’s problem, and I absolutely hate that. You have no right to say that Naomi was trying to be a submissive, quiet female and that she was “assuming stereotypical gender roles”, especially since she didn’t even know what was going on in the court because she was trying to get her head in the game and focus on winning, which is what Williams should have been doing.
If you had actually read my comment instead of simply commenting just because I didn’t agree with what Williams did, you would have read my very lengthy explanation on WHY WILLIAMS WAS NOT BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST, but let me explain it again for you in more detail.
Carlos Ramos is known for being an extreme stickler to the rules. If you want to back up your point about how the rules are not being applied uniformly, Carlos Ramos is not the man you should be looking for, and is the first example you would find of an tennis umpire that FAIRLY AND ALWAYS APPLIES THE RULES.
He has penalised many players, regardless of their gender, race or ethnicity. In 2016, he penalised Andy Murray for calling his umpiring “stupid”. He also gave Novak Dojokovic a fault on his serve at the 2017 French Open for time violations, and subsequently gave him a code violation for yelling + unsportsmanlike conduct, full article if you feel like reading:
www.msn.com/en-us/sports/tennis/umpire-carlos-ramos-has-history-of-being-stickler-for-violations/ar-BBN40R7
He was being extremely by-the-book and fair across all boards, no matter the gender, which is far better from being okay with everything happening on the court. the rules were being applied extremely uniformly. article to educate you on the tennis side of things: www.tennis.com/pro-game/2018/09/carlos-ramos-correct-us-open-final-serena-williams-naomi-osaka-controversy/76919/
Your blatant favouritism of Serena is showing, amigo. Look at the facts, please. Williams was being thoroughly outplayed by Naomi for most of the match, and all the code violations were justified, especially the first one, in which it was very clear that Serena’s coach was coaching her, which then spiralled into Serena throwing a hissy fit and being penalised fairly for the tantrum she threw.
As a person of colour and a woman, it disgusts me that she’s using the gender card to downplay the loss of control of her temper because she was losing, and trying to turn it on the umpire simply because he was following the rules.
If Serena was winning despite the code violations, I can guarantee you 100% that she would not have made this as huge of a deal as it is now, and overshadow Naomi’s win, who is the person we should be focusing on right now. Naomi just beat a player half her age, with far more experience than she has, and with far more elegance, grace and poise than Serena could ever hope to have. Serena being a sore loser is really not what I expected for her, and I’m thoroughly disappointed, which is definitely not even close to what Naomi must be feeling right now, to see your idol throw a hissy fit right before your eyes because you’re beating her at her game.
Will Cain is the voice of reason. Finally someone willing to call her out.
Exactly.
Serena was getting her ass beat.
Tried to cheat
Acted violently
Became threatening and slandered the officials
Then cried victim.
How the fools in the media are supporting her is embarrassing
At least this guy isn't afraid to speak the truth.
Really? You act like Will Cain is saying something that could get him fired. Stop it! He's a sport commentator and not the only person to say she was wrong.
Serena was losing and got frustrated and it snowballed from there. Is her behavior acceptable... NO Did she behave like every other athlete playing at a high level trying to win a championship... Yes!
You act like people are calm when adrenaline is pumping through your veins and the game is on the line.
Oh and Andy Roddick and Macenroe came to her defense. Tow guys known for saying worse to referee's.
There is nothing fearless about what Cain said. He was just a contrarian when it came this this issue.
Boo hoo, Serena lost in bad fashion. Is she still the greatest Female Tennis player on the planet... YES!
Congratulation to Naomi Osaka who is Haitian and Japanese.
I feel so sorry for that young girl who looked destroyed at having won she stood there feeling bad and it looked like no one on that stage really made sure she was ok and she was a worthy winner .
So TRUE. This was Naomi's moment
Exactly! That's the truth!
Heard that she went into depression
that's because she was not a worthy winner
Naomi's moment was stolen from her "idol."
Serena forgot how she also lost in Miami, Osaka is just a better player.
Serena beat her in the Rogers cup quater finals....
@@kingsbury5259 Osaka beat her AGAIN at the Australian Open 🤦🏿♀️
Only Stephen A and Will Cain have taken the right route here. Ramos called it within the rules. End of story.
Not to mention, Naomi Osaka was destroying her.
Every after your 'End of story' comment is completely irrelevant.
David Kim that's what happened so it is relevant
@@davidkim5603 shut up. Lol 😂
Blacks and Hispanics hate each other as much as Asians hate blacks.
Mike M I am in support of Serena, what does this have to do with my race?
Coach admits he was coaching!!!
Lol
yet she "has never cheated in her life"
hey guys---i bet...he no longer coaches her anymore
What are the odds?!
McSpitfire---i've mentioned this to others...and 1 person actually said.....why would he get fired????......ummmmm...you DON'T bite the hand that feeds you?????????????????
he basically said something like “yes, I was coaching... but everyone else coaches all the time so it’s hypocritical not a big deal, so therefor I did nothing wrong.” and he even said Osaka’s coach (who used to work with Serena and her coach for several years) was coaching the whole time, too.
what was the point of saying "I have a daughter"? Is it such a unique achievement ? Majority of people have kids in the world. They don't use that fact to get special treatment. Does having kids mean that you can never be wrong ?
She was speaking in context of her being accused of cheating.
DJ Maxamillion So people who have daughters don't cheat? Anyways, no one called her a cheater. You get penalized as per the rules, as simple as that.
Prashant Chaturvedi that was so cringey; women have been giving birth for thousands of years, not so unique.
Especially in the era of welfare babies
Victim excuse
Serena has failed in final exam and I will give her “F”.
Lol lol lol. For her bad behavior, she should.
Psychologist Jorden Peterson explains the purpose of sports is to develop CHARACTER for the game of LIFE. Serena definitely fails. Every parent and every coach should hear this talk. czcams.com/video/H8Rym8T2H-w/video.html
what a poor sport she is, get it together girl n just play tennis, stop being so entitle...u lost get over it
F-
Thanks for this clearer "speaker" you presented here today ESPN! I struggle to hear it any better on News and highlights. WD!
Wish more media would speak up like this instead of talking scared. Serena is an outstanding player but this was completely out of control.
Everyone in the media is scared of being labeled racist sexist or homophobic so no one shares their true opinions and just says what will get peoples approval
Thank you!!!
When does cain evervtake up for black people
The most unfortunate part of all this, is that Naomi Osaka was embarrassing Serena all match with her dominant play and her first Grand Slam title victory will always have this cloud over it because of one person's selfish behavior.
I would agree, except that Naomi handled Serena previously, and decisively!
In that case, you can apply the same logic to Serena - she got $1.8M
Petar Jovanov $17000 fine is like a speeding ticket to Serena. That’s nothing to her. They should fine her $1.8 mill
Yeap.
And ESPN never wants to bring up how badly Naomi was already dominating Serena in the match.
I don't get what her having a daughter has to do with the situation? That's not an argument that she wasn't cheating. And the coach admitted. Ridiculous! Why didn't she bow down after losing a point to code violations and play right and try to win?
She couldn't win the game so she tried to win the argument. Lost both
Brb having a daughter so I don't have to take responsibility for anything ever again
Osaka idolized the wrong tennis player. I've watched Williams from the beginning. Whenever she doesn't get her way she throws a tantrum. Williams' coach admitted that he was coaching Williams from the stands. The excuse: "Everybody does it." The USTA should enact a new rule: "If you get caught cheating these are the penalties:... " And the USTA should decide what those penalties are, not the umpires. Penalties should be the same for men and women. Take deciding the penalties out of the hands of the umpires & then neither Williams nor anyone else can stamp their childish feet and whine, "No fair!"
what she earns per minute is something you will never ear in your entire life
You're absolutely right!! Even more reason for Serena not to throw tantrums and whine "No fair!"
I think you need to watch a lot more tennis if you really think that Nadel, Federer, Murry or any of the top player wouldn't have reacted the same way (if not worst) if a point and then a game were deducted under simular circumstances. Check out Nadels infamous run in with the same Umpire.
I'm not saying they haven't. I'm not saying they wouldn't. I'm saying it's wrong. It was wrong when John McEnroe threw tantrums & bullied umpires & linesmen. It was wrong when Ilie Nastase did it. It's wrong now.
I don't think anyone would argue the case that she was right in what she did, that's not the point at all. Is it understandable why she reacted the way that she did, that is the real question. I think so. She may never get the chance to equal Margaret Courts 24 Grand Slam winning record again. Not at 36 years of age. The no coaching rule is a stupid rule that’s why they are going scrap it altogether. It’s not like Serena was getting an unfair advantage that needed to be stopped.
The umpire decided to make an unimportant decision at a very important time when experience should have told him to excise discretion, but instead he chose to act like a “JOBS WORTH” i.e... “an official who upholds petty rules even at the expense of common sense.” History was on course to write itself... had Jobs Worth not intervened.
.
She claims she "stands for women" but then she bullies them during tennis matches (go look up the videos), ruins their moments to shine when they beat her in majors with crazy outbursts. She's done this SO MANY TIMES, not just the times she's angry. Even when she's not angry and someone else beats her in a final, she does SOMETHING to get the attention on her. With some players she won't stop talking to them and controlling their space after they win so it's all about, "Look how gracious Serena Williams is" instead of letting the girl have her moment in front of the crowd.
Amazing that so many of those fans in the stands forgot how bullying and unprofessional Serena has been in the past. (She told the Japanese lineswoman she would "F**king Kill You." Yipes!
she is a disgusting cunt. Watch some of the tennis worst ever highlights and Serena is always in there. there is one clip where she threatens a line referee with killing the referee.
Tillik, youve got an excellent point of view there. Never thought about it but of course we knew her history. Totally agree with you.
Serena loses Wimbledon
"celebrates her post-baby efforts"
*ignores actual winner, ALSO female*
Yes, probably the worst loser in pro sports honestly, she seems to have a losing complex,.
She is obsessed with winning and protecting her image 6 massive ego to the extent that when she loses she can't accept it and tried to make up excuses why she did not win even if that means creating controversy out of the blue or simply going on a rant to try and take away the performance of the opponent in an attempt to discredit them an make her look good even when she is losing and was outplayed.
It's sad this young lady apologize for winning.
She made me cry when she apologized. It was her moment and she never got to savor it.
@@RomelaCepeda All because Serena is a sore loser
If anyone is owed an apology it's Naomi from Serena. What a crybaby. I wonder if Serena is embarrassed.🤔
Naomi shouldn't have apologized for anything even more for winning the championship! If there was someone who should've apologized it was Serena for showing tantrums (sore loser), poor sportsmanship (no class) and conduct unbecoming of a professional athlete and supposedly a role model & great champion! Totally stole the spotlight from Naomi and ruined her moment! Was never a fan of Serena...never will be!
And d sad part is during d trophy part presentation when ask a certain she sad she will defer from answering smart young lady classy good upbringing
Serena owes Naomi an apology!!
Conservative America she can't fix it though, not a moment like that.
TaK usually an apology doesn't fix what happened, what's done is done. No one's saying an apology to Osaka would fix what happened. It's more a gesture of being classy and professional, at least for this situation it would be.
Serena should be boycotted, until she offers genuinely sincere and contrite Written, and public oral apologies to Mr. Ramos, Naomi Osaka, and all of the public.
It would be like "I'm sorry you're all so racist and sexist. I'm sorry that racism and sexism cost me the match. You're number one racism and sexism fan - Serena."
No. No need. She'll slowly fade away.
You do know she is a liberal feminist black woman right? She isnt apologizing for shit. She will take it to the grave and still hold her opinion in hell.
Will Cain you are dead on. Nobody commented on her bad behaviour. Unsportsmanlike behaviour. She was losing badly and she had a melt down. Congrats to Naomi Osaka. Showed more grace and CLASS than Serena.
Lost the first set is losing badly?
In a best of 3, yes. 6-2 that's a dominant win, not 6-0 or 6-1, but still pretty dominant.
Serena has come back from tons of matches without resorting to any tactics. She doesn't need excuses or bad behavior. She has used her talent to come back in matches countless times. The umpire crossed the line. It was the coach's fault, so give a soft warning to the player - not a code violation. Most umpires do that. Osaka's coach was doing the same thing but he didn't call it out. Pretty bad.
Stephen A Smith called it too.
I think the majority feel this way actually
I watched Stephen A's, Max Kellerman's and now your views on this and I have to say my respect for you is now number 1. You didn't make a single apology for Serena Williams unlike them. You sir, have integrity. I salute you !
agreed!
Fake argument. 86 code violations for men in the US Open 2018. 22 for women. Serena had 3 in the same match.
He doesn't know when to shut up, that's why ! .
it's almost certainly because men play far more games and sets than women. that being said, ive hated serena since i was young enough to hate people.
unprofessional unsporting and shameful selfishness, with her career ending this is how she will be remembered
What happened was disgusting. No winner should apologise for the accumulation of a lifetime of hard work.
Blah Blah Blah.. Serena will be the greatest female tennis player of all time.. Eat it sir and enjoy your one finally moment of bashing Serena...
And no winner should have a game penalty handed to her in a grand slam..her coach..the ump and others sold Serena out
If you ever actually watched any of Naomi's matches you'd know that she always apologizes for winning in a countries outside Japan. it's just a trait of hers others find endearing. The outburst was bad but she didn't steal anything from her.
shiro182 I think that the fact she apologised is a testament to her humility. Sorry if I wasn’t clear I’m not really a tennis fan.
Kitten Girl True
This take is spot on, Serena acted with a complete lack of class and the toxic environment that ruined Osakas big moment was invited by Serena who tried very little to quell the sheep that started booing
Incited by*
She tried very little? Did you not watch her speech where she told the crowd to stop booing which they did? Get your facts straight.
+Rajab Croswell: No, Serena came off as very condescending. She still made it about her with her "we will get through this".
@@rajabcroswell9020 she was cause of that booing and made whole situation first place so that was at least what she can do. But it was too late already and damage was done. Officials was jerks also, didn't do anything to stop booing and even said this wasn't the result everyone wanted. What a lowlifes. I not care what colour is Serena's skin, she is shame to this sport.
@@anssisaarela9472 Serena doesn't control the crowd. Ridiculous to blame her.
I only heard about this yesterday evening. But, based on what I've seen, Serena just sounds like a sore loser. This was not a gender thing, a racial thing, or a sexist thing (or even being a mother thing). This is the result of Serena's (and her coach) own poor actions.
I have never cheated? I watched Serena when she couldn't catch her breath due to a long game. because she couldn't catch her breath, the other player was winning, so Serena faked a pulled hamstring. She then called a injury time out until she could catch her breath, then went on to win the game. " there are no time outs for catching your breath, so she used the injury time out to rest. that is cheating"
Finally somebody on ESPN with some common sense
He will be fired soon, don't worry.
No shit
I agree with you finally with some godamn sense in that place all everybody else on that network is kissing Serena ass. She was wrong she acted like a spoile brat
AMEN!!!!!
That will probably cost him his job at espn
She acted like a sore loser, not a champion and it's sad bc she's been the best. She didn't act like a role model one bit.
How dare you try to be rational? You owe me an apology!
So sad to see a legend go down like this.... Sport is bigger then winning and losing... And hence are the players..... That's why we say "be a sport".....
And trophy ceremony was such a disaster.... It was like they were having a kind of criminal proceedings against Naomi Osaka...
Loved Serena but I don't know what to say now... And I agree with all the points put up in this vedio... What has this that Serena has a girl child got to do with such behavior of her?..... And yes it is a man's world but that can not be your excuse for your f### up behavior.... How are we going to change the world ever? I kill people because anyway someone is killing?????
I am black, I am a Serena's fan, I believe she is the GOAT, I would stand for her against racism, hatred etc. But on this one, this drama is just disgraceful. I feel sorry for her behavior, Naomi the Haitian-Japanese lady doesn't deserve that.
Exactly
Well said
Your going to be shocked when we look back at her games and see that she was a cheat. I hope they don’t pull the race card and let it slide.
Be Berean You're so obsessed with her 😂 I've barely read the comments and saw you multiple times.
I agree with you, Williewill1. Her coach admitted that he has always given her illegal hand signals during her matches. So, she has been cheating EVERY SINGLE MATCH with this coach. I'm curious to see now that her coach has admitted he does this routinely, will the future umpires of Serena's matches site her for a coaching violation from now on?
Will Cain knocked it out a park on this one... Serena was losing and lost her cool.. She took it out on the ref..
Except she has come back from several matches due to her talent. She was frustrated by not playing better. The umpire gave her two stupid code violations - one for coaching, which should have been a soft warning like all other umpires give - and the second it calling him a thief due to that, when men like Andy Roddick and James Blake have admitted they said a lot worse. Should have been only one code violation - racquet abuse.
Lynn Mohror I doubt that.... Osaka beat Serena pretty easily back in March. Looks as though it was going to happen again
Nothing unfair about this. She got coaching and got caught, and tried to lie that she didn't. Lied more claiming she doesn't lie and cheat which she obviously does. Whined about her character being attacked when it was right to be attacked. Does she think everyone forgot the time she threatened violence against a line judge because she didn't like a call? Or the time she threatened to sue another umpire? This is not new behavior for her. Her notion of an impeccable character is a joke. Her character is super shady.
Chris Rooster and then had a ‘ROID RA-AGE!!!
finally a voice of reason in this whole situation. Thank you. It's disguisting to use the sexism card in pursuit of your own victory, saying you're fighting for women's rights.
Get over it Serena. Naomi won and you needed an excuse to be let down.
I'm so glad ESPN still has someone who's as objective as Will Cain and Stephen A. for calling out Serena was a disgrace and wrong. I can't believe some ESPN commentators and many fans come to Serena's defense. Instead of accepting defeat with grace, Serena blamed the umpire who was simply doing his job correctly and professionally. Serena and those who defend her inexcusable behaviors should be ashamed of themselves. By the way, watch Serena at US Open 2009 & 2011 and notice Serena has had a history of abusing lines judge and chair umpires.
Definitely right. US open 2009, 2011, 2018 has similarity. She did the disgrace and lost straight sets 😂
even women rights won't defend her, they know serena had a meltdown and uses "sexism" to escape all the childish acts.
Johandy Huang of
Serena did it 3 times .... once with Kim, (first meltdown) 2nd with Stouser, and lastly with Osaka .... she needs to check her attitude and start being a grown-up or better yet a gracious loser/ better sportsmanship hehe...
I have to agree....Serena was behaving irrationally. It is one thing to disagree openly about a decision that was made. It is another thing to deride, berate and insult an umpire excessively, slam your racket on the ground and dang near cried to the refs when you don't have your way. She behaved unprofessionally from my eyes. And yes, other players did the same and were penalized equally. It had nothing to do with her sex. It had everything to do with her being angry that her ass was being served by a 20-year-old.
yeah, she was looking for a way out of the embarrassment of getting her ass kicked by Osaka, again, and this time on the biggest stage. She was looking for an excuse she can fall back on. So far, she's lost 2 matches to Osaka, won 0 sets against her while Osaka has won 4, and has won a total of 11 games while Osaka has won 24 games. Ass kicking.
Will Cain and SAS are the only two people who has some sense in this situation. Serena got her ass whupped by Naomi Osaka and acted like a big baby. Carlos treats every player the same, male or female, just like what SAS said on First Take. Doesn’t matter if it’s the finals or not or if it’s a point vs a game. He treats every player and situation the same.
He is a supremacists to the core
Shod Kang WTF are you talking about
Bc they say what they really believe unlike just about everyone else on ESPN which is what I respect I don't have to agree just be authentic
@@shodkang5925 you're the racist
@@shodkang5925 Will Cain is right to the core
Not only was Serena Williams' conduct disgraceful, it was poor sportsmanship. The crowd at the awards ceremony was also disgraceful. Naomi Osaka deserve the win, and she rightly earned it by outplaying Serena. SHAME on all them for forever tainting Naomi Osaka's FIRST grand slam win. You can only win for the first time ONCE. It is an experience than can never come again and for that moment that is supposed to be filled with great joy and a sense of accomplishment be filled with tears, for Naomi to remember it with the boos of the crowd and how she had to apologize for winning?!?! I'll say it again SHAME on all of them!

If Naomi is capable of forgiveness and she won, then I think you need to check your place in this situation.
Historically at the US Open Serena acts a fool when she is losing. She gets so damn emotional when she is losing. I remember at Wimbledon she won a point in a game against Angelique Kerber by hitting the tennis ball to her and didn't even apologize. If Serena was winning her coach would have no reason to try to coach her thus Serena would not need to be critical of Ramos. Her reaction was mostly do to the fact that she was losing and that is not good because in the past and recently she has had a problem being bested.
juliet seignious - we don't really know if she forgave anyone, but for the sake of argument that she did, her experience was still tainted. She STILL had to apologize for the fact that she was the better player and won. Let's face it. Before all the hoopla even happened, Naomi was already in the lead and poised to win anyway.
Thank you for your opinion. Now please respect mine.
Yes. SW totally ruined her opponent's well deserved celebration. IMHO You are totally correct. Thank you.
THANK YOU! Honestly more people in the media need to stand up and speak the truth in this matter.
Shocking, shocking behaviour. Things can be said in the heat of the moment which are semi understandable but this was sustained over 10 mins.
I can’t call someone a thief (falsely) walking down the street without repercussions.
Finally, “you will never be on a court of mine again”. Tennis will be around a long time after her. She isn’t above the game despite what people say to her face.
If she did the correct thing and said she was sorry etc then it would go a long way to helping the situation.
After all he’s somebody’s son as Serena likes to remind us about her daughter.
I can't believe somebody has guts to say that Serena was wrong . Bravo Will Cain . Again poor conduct by Serena .
Except she wasn't wrong, other than not letting it go. Ramos was wrong to give a code violation and not a soft warning to her in the first place. Especially when Osaka's coach was doing the same thing.
Serena Williams was also the only person to call Serena Williams a "cheater". What does that tell you? ;)
And if Serena Williams would have kept calm, she only would have received a warning. Which does *not* affect the score of a tennis game or match. Therefore, Aidan Linehan, you are correct that *Serena Williams herself* "completely ruined Osaka's career defining moment." However, I am stating this for people who think the "coaching" conduct violation was the problem. I'm not sure if you are one of those Aidan. But it wasn't the conduct violation. It was her losing her cool, which gave her the point and game violations.
For such a superstar in pro tennis, (and Serena Williams IS one), she certainly does not understand the rules, even though she said she did.
I can't believe anyone in ESPN has the balls to say Serena was wrong...However it was not just Will Cain but to my surprise even Stephen A Smith had to say that Serena was WRONG...I mean that kind of conduct is inexcusable, only ultra biased Serena fans and brain dead liberals can excuse that childish conduct.
@@andrewm6424 It had everything to do with her getting a code violation for something that she didn't do. She felt she was getting penalized and basically accused of cheating. I would be livid too. Who wouldn't be? She said she prides herself of working things out on court and never has asked for on court coaching on the WTA tour. The racquet abuse she could understand. The other two not at all. She was defending herself and called him on his bull of taking a point away from her. She didn't call him anything that wasn't warranted by him.
This was an embarrassment, a disgrace of the highest order. The meltdown of the century
She DID get coaching, and she SAW the signals from her coach, otherwise how would she know about the thumbs up signal she mentioned in her speech to the umpire right after receiving the code violation for coaching?
Her coach had his thumbs up while moving his hands to the front (meaning "go Forward, go to the net" Everybody in tennis knows that), he also nods to Serena as acknowledgement, watch the video.
The umpire told her nothing about the signals.
So, HOW DID SHE KNOW? For God's sake!
She SAW it, and after getting penalized she tried to turn the tables on him.
All I was waiting for was Kanye West to grab the microphone and say " Serena Willam is the best tennis player of all taaym, of all taaym"
Naomi you handled this most unfortunate situation with a grace and humbleness.THIS WAS HER DREAM TO PLAY HER IDOL SERENA AT THE US OPEN FINAL. Sadly, Serena, the crowd and the disgraceful comment by Katrina Adams "Perhaps this was not the finish we were looking for today". utterly spoiled Naomi's moment. Can you imagine? Naomi just achieved her dream and she should have been celebrated, not booed. Even with all those insulting comments and bad behavior by Serena, the crowd and Katrina Adams, Naomi apologized for winning because she knew if she were in the stand she would've been rooting for Serena. I am glad to see so many Americans and non-Americans applauding for Naomi's grace. So THANK YOU! Can someone please tell me name(s) of Grand Slam champions who were able to put her/him self in the crowd's shoes and think rationally why they behaved in the way they did? I'm Japanese and we were taught to be humble and gracious from childhood. Her mother clearly kept the tradition. Naomi even thanked the crowd for watching and thanked Serena for playing and took a bow. HOW SO JAPANESE OF HER!
BTW: Naomi completely outplayed Serena, just saying.
I can't imagine anyone rooting for Serena. She's a big brute playing normal females so she's never the underdog. That's like cheering for a heavyweight fighting lightweights. Serena is a black female (not sure about the female part) so she will always get away with shit like this.
Well said!
Spot on. I alsoappreciate Naomi's bringing forth the Japanese sense of propriety in such moments. This culture has gotten so rude, crude and narcissistic. Am also Japanese so recognized her classic demeanor. Btw, Serena was wrong...they were treating her like a man because she is...Touche .
I totally agree what you said.
Tak O yep outplayed serena in every way. I hope the japanese media tore serena a new asshole! (Politely lol) This behavior makes my blood boil!
Well said, full respect to Will Cain say it as it is. also THE CROWD WAS DISGRACEFUL.
Its bcuz the crowd was full of celebrities who were friends of serena and just friends of serena.
Your President acts this way everyday.LOL
This has nothing to do with politics dumb ass. I would like to know what country you live in where it is so great though.
Thanks, as a tennis coach and referee, this is accurate
Agreed
The only thief in this situation was Serena who stole the spotlight from Naomi Osaka whose first grand slam victory will be forever marred by Serena's misconduct. No Serena, no one owes you an apology, you owe Naomi an apology.
Serena were losing, she were mainly trying to discredited Naomi win. That's what that scene were all about so they(her elites friends and her) can blame this game on the umpire and not Naomi outplayed her. This is the worse sportsmanship I had ever witnessed in my life, just pain classless. Acting like the world revoke about her.
I agree, this is exactly what she was doing. And all the "I'm here fighting for women" in the press conference, and the "compassionate" hug at the ceremony, that was all theater. Just pathetic
伍达贤 that is how the leftists perform here when they lose. Nasty. Disgusting behavior. Sad that Osaka had to feel sorry she won.
Well said. Serena's conduct is a disgrace. There is no way around it. Victimizing herself is just cringy.
Are you a sibling of Ramos? Your ugly name looks familiar.
No I am not a sibling of Ramos. That is RACIST. I HAVE A DAUGHTER AND I STAND FOR WHATS RIGHT FOR HER AND SHIT. APOLOGIZE TO. SAY YOU ARE SORRY.
I apologize to your lovely daughter but not to you. Ramos started the mess and if you blame Serena then you support Ramos. Ramos knew that Serena has #23 Grandslams. coaching could never have produced that number. There are things one can overlook. This is one of them. Naomi could have cared less even if Serena was getting coached. Believe me, there are umpires who would have made sure it went to 3 sets. Naomi most likely would have won but this cloud over her win was not caused by Serena but by the devilish Ramos
@Derek Conrad
reminds me of Adolf Hitler spelt backwards.
I am left leaning myself, I just don't buy this Serena Bullshit
The 2 times she threw a tantrum was when she was about to lose the US Open. She doesn't do this if the scores were reversed, what does that say about her.
A black female friend of mine said Serena was thrown under the bus by "her own people " . So what because a person is black they are supposed to stand behind her and cosign her deplorable ranting ? Really?
Will Cain and Stephen A Smith are the only two speaking the truth. I’m surprised ESPN didn’t try to control the narrative and actually let them explain exactly what happened.
ESPN lost millions of viewers over the last few years due to their political agenda. They might finally realize people are not dumb and misinformed anymore
They are trying too but Stephen A Smith and Will Cain said fuck that.
Tristan DeJesus oh but they did TRY....watch the segment on Get Up!
hey doron, could you send a link please? i am very interested to see
Midnight czcams.com/video/LlsPyQoc624/video.html
US open 2009, 2011, 2018 has a similarity. She feels she's gonna lose, then Disrespect, disgrace, and finally, lost straight sets 😂
Johandy Huang her behavior in the 2011 final towards that female chair umpire was even worse than 2018. She’s fortunate she wasn’t penalized more back then
Lol 2009 she theretend to shove a ball down a line judges throat I don’t care how good her tennis is she’s an arrogant self entitled angry horrible bitch
Serena Williams time is up
Ramos is the unsung hero. Serena with all her perceived success showed us the true state of moral poverty.
The very first argument is really all one needs: it was supposed to be just a warning, and a correct one. All that Serena and her coach had to do was stop doing it, and the match would proceed uneventfully. However, Serena chose to throw all her economic and social might against the blue collar umpire to satisfy her proportionally huge ego. And this what really matters: she chose that course action. The problem was, the umpire didn't get intimidated by her. That only caused her to become more infuriated. The rest is a sad history. Serena is the ONLY one to blame in this horror story. So many people trying to make the umpire responsible, totally or partially. No way. He just did what he was expected to do.
U know she's been outclass n power by the nicest young Naomi u gotta use a-z plan in the closet
Everyone except Serena and her die hard fans will agree that she was out of order in every respect. The next question is will the WTA take the appropriate action for bringing the game into disrespect, especially as Serena has form for threatening umpires and linespeople when things are not going her way. Sad that Serena played every card going in an attempt to justify her behaviour, meanwhile she showed zero respect to her opponent and some might say that this was a cynical move to unhinge the young and polite Naomi.
The ITA will boycott her games.
Serena hasn't just threatened linespersons and umpires. She's PHYSICALLY threatened other opponents, saying she'll see them in the locker. She's an entitled bully brat. I wish it was her sister Venus that shone in competition over the years. I much prefer her to Serena The Brat.
She knows she's not #1 . So rather than acknowledge the fact and continue playing or retiring--- maybe she'll boycott playing claiming all of her issues and become the next Colin kaepernick?????
Self entitled, millionaire diva and she has previous behaving like this. Appalling behaviour and she should be deeply ashamed of the way she behaved and overshadowed Osakas great day. Ramos treats all players the same.
It wasn't sexism. She got beat. Didn't know how to handle the lost.
Rashad Ginn that wasn’t the first time serena loses a match
@@JulioGA14 it was the few matches she got her ass handed to her
@@JulioGA14 then she should have shut her fucking mouth and played tennis.
Perfectly said, Will. Serena and her coach were in the wrong. No amount of loud abuse by Serena, trying to play to the crowd for sympathy changes those errors by her coach and herself. Flat poor sportsmanship. Respect the officials and keep your temper in check. We fans don't like her conduct and SHE needs to apologize to everybody.
Will, you went from my most hated analyst on First Take to someone i enjoy listening to because you deliver your arguments very authentically and most of the time with great reason. Keep up the hard work homie!
more and more now the entitled behaviour and moral positioning of sports people, actors, performers etc is becoming unacceptable. Normal people aren't buying it anymore.
At least Serena did not say "Do you know who I am ?"
Marcus Sinclair oh but that was implied when she told him “you’re never working a game that I’m playing again” as if he should feel honored to work a game that she’s playing in
Then the ref could say "No. I don't give a damn." (film reference. anyone? anyone?)
Marcus Sinclair lol
Yes she did. Didn't you listen to all the crap that came out of her mouth. That's exactly what she was saying.
George Rusch ... hehe that's "frankly my dear...i don't give a damn". But Samuel L Jackson performs a song in Black Snake Moan. One lyric is "do you know who I am? No I don't give a damn." But gone with the WIN is hilarious in it's own right.
No Class ~ No Gender ~ No Race ~ Williams was frustrated because she was losing to a better player , lost her temper and compusure and took it out on her racket and the chair judge. The same call could have happened by a female chair judge. Serena was a sore loser , played the victim and is no role model. Total meltdown by Serena ....inconsiderate , disgusting , sad and shameful. Osaka , on the other hand was great and showed class, composure and humility. Congratulations to Naomi Osaka !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The lesson for the children is to behave like Naomi and NOT Serena !
Wow Will Cain really nailed it. My faith in American broadcasters restored. 👏👏
After the coach admitted, I think SHE OWES him an apology.
She needs to stop after the penalty, it's that simple. Because the first 2 issue was your fault, her and her coach knows the rules, they are veterans
I don’t want to add race thing to this but as a Black man who thought great of Serena for what she’s accomplished I agree 100% with Will on this. The coach admitted he was coaching so Serena and him must have practiced these secret hand signals. And don’t justify the wrong doings because you think men have done it. I applaud Naomi for her calmness and great game. That was a very dark page in Serena’s book of accomplishments
Djzen312
Who cares about Serena!. It was dark place for Naomi thanks to her idol!
Chokey Smurf how many threads you gunna post the same comment on? That’s some lazy shit right there....
Chokey Smurf your still a stupid. .
As a black man...sigh..
I honor you for your words sir!
what a man you are!!
thanks for that.
Serena acted like a low-bred guttersnipe.. She ruined Osaka's joy. She had a horrid tantrum because she was being beaten. Then she claimed a type of sexism. (She always behaved this way on court. Check the records. )Then she berated the referee, pointing her finger calling him a "thief"... demanding he apologises to her, then started crying, while the crowds began booing him. Her gutter behavior embarrassed Poor Osaka.
Serena ' s action say who she really is inside: proud, haughty, arrogant, full of mischief, Shameless.
No amt of riches can hide those qualities, Serena. What an embarrassment. Hope Meghan and Prince Harry watched the spectacle.
Bitch please
Another idiotic and ridiculous post. You should be embarrassed.
Constance Mitchell: you nailed each thing.
I agree with You 100% !!! Well said
What??? That is some complete bull*^&t. Serena got upset, so what? Was it the "right" thing to do, maybe not, but to call her a "guttersnipe"? I guess you are the epitome of classy behavior, and you have NEVER gotten upset and called someone a derogatory name, correct?
The Mexican coach admitted he was coaching the drama queen 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I have never cheated", she says as she forgets the decade of steroids and PEDs running in her vains. "Never".
Yeah. I will never believe in someone who said that he or she had "never" cheated.
No steroids. She has a doctor prescription for dopamine drugs. For a mental disease she has been taking them since she was 5 also her sister has the exact same prescription. It's on the internet look it up. Good cheaters get doctor prescriptions. Bad ones like sharapova get caught.
You guys are so full of shit talking abouy Steroids.
She was wrong in that final that was Osaka moment there. But stop the Steroid or she is a man bla bla bla BSH
@@anndy1250 do your own research. She is allowed to use banned drugs. First of all she is privileged for that as a US sportsman (woman) plus if you get a Dr prescription it means it is ok, no matter how bogus your ailment is...
You can't tell me this ugly b**** is not taking testosterone. She's built like a f****** linebacker. You know damn well she's taking testosterone just listen to her voice
What I find really weird is that her defence was founded on the assertion that she was a victim of male privilege. The absurdity is that throughout her spectacle what she really clearly manifested was another form of privilege - hers! She was relying on the privilege of her status within the athletic community as the de facto reigning queen of woman's tennis. She illustrated that very clearly via her indignation, her complete lack of respect for the umpire, the willingness not only to lie, but to reinforce the lie with an assertion of moral superiority. It wasn't that her dialogue with the umpire was heated or emotional or even offensive. It was the complete lack of respect. She behaved as if the rules did not apply to her. Despite the allegations of racial undertones, I really think Mark Knight nailed it with his cartoon. 'Can't you just let her win?' seems extremely appropriate. I honestly believe if Osaka wasn't half black, she would have pulled that one out as well. It was disgraceful.
Well said!
Hey Texas.. fuck off racist.
Nolan Olivier: you are on point. Very well stated!
LOVED LOVED LOVED Mark Knight's cartoon! Hilarious!
Very well stated! I couldn't agree more with you.
Serena Williams acted like a big spoiled brat. She acted like a sobbing baby. Her daughter will look at this behavior of her mother in the future and be embarrassed just like we all are as Americans for her behavior on a national stage. Only in Tennis would anyone complain as a player that they arent allowed to "express their emotions" Ive never heard of anything as absurd as this. Osaka acted like the true champion she is. Serena should learn from her. This is the poison of ego and entitlement. For anyone to defend her, an adult, is absolutely ludicrous and shameful.
DJ Maxamillion I disagree with your racist comment.
DJ Maxamillion your entire comment.
How sure are you that Serena's daughter won't take after her mother?
Will Cain, spot on brother! Thanks for saying it like it is. How can anyone defend ANYTHING Serena did? Thanks for giving us some facts to show what a liar and disgrace Serena is.
Easy by speaking facts
"Standing up for women's rights"
Look at her past treatment of female opponents and refs.
will cain kept it real. I cant believe she really brought sexism and racism into this. Totally robbed Naomi's moment.
And the fact that she has a daughter...as if that has any relevance or makes her some special butterfly.
@@ljpal18 I'm surprised his show hasn't gotten the boot yet knowing that ESPN worships Serena lol

tenniscollector---we will probably never see her again
She had two great tournaments this year. Good for her. So did other women. And Serena said the was the deserved champion and played great. What else do you want?
EVERYBODY REPEAT AFTER ME KING KONG LOST .NOW ONCE AGAIN KING KONG LOST.THATS IT AGAIN.
Robert Brown I don't know about that... She did beat Serena back in March.... Seems to me she has figured her out
repeat after me....SHUT THE FUCK UP
The true disgrace to me as an American was the unbridled support she receives from the crowd despite this outburst.
How crazy is it that Naomi felt she had to apologize for winning. ( what is going on people) Serena was so unprofessional.
Once you go for the race or gender card in a situation that literally has zero to do with it everything that follows is just noise and even if you had an argument it’s gone.
She didn't use the race card, but she did use the joker. :-)
How dare you apply the rules to..ME! YOU OWE ME...!
RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAAAY!!
losability: ey We Men are practically colonized by women in this day in age.😒
Serena said he wasn't coaching her, that he just gave her a thumbs up. The coach said yeah I was coaching her. So she just caught herself in her own lie. Great example for your daughter Serena.
I laughed my ass off when she said “this has happened to me too many times!”, I WONDER WHY
