Thanks, FB. Serena has been treated shabbily at the Open before, and more than once.

no I was the one who said there might be racism involved. I've never seen this against any other player

so her calling him a thief is tantamount to umpire abuse? I'm just trying to understand

sorry Front but that's bullshit. There have been worse things said on the court by some of the men and they don't even get point penalties

I don't see the umpire should insert himself so much in a GS final.

Murat: a thumbs up is coaching? That's the same as saying "come on!" A big nothing.

I agree w/ the coaching and the racquet abuse, but giving her a game penalty because she called him a thief?

she wasn't getting coached mate. Unless you're trying to suggest that for the first time in her career she's decided to ask of coaching. Give me a fucking break. She doesn't even let her coach come and talk to her in WTA matches.

It was going along fine and I think the umpire inserted himself too much.
