2018 US Open Final: S. Williams vs. N. Osaka

[Fiero425]

I do believe the code of conduct is different from men's and ladies tours! Women aren't allowed to be graceless; hense the hard warnings and penalty! lol!

 

[Federberg]

I'm bailing out of this conversation...

 

[kskate2]

like I said. You can't see things objectively period. Let's just talk about something else

 

[Front242]

sure I can. Roger never verbally threatened an umpire

 

[kskate2]

ESPN is interviewing Naomi right now

 

[Fiero425]

This killed her JOY! Terrible; what is this 3 or 4 controversial endings with Serena at the USO?

 

[Srini]

i understand men get away with worse things but that doesnt give Serena a license to be rude to the umpire

 

[Fiero425]

AMEN!

 

[Srini]

poor Naomi i think she was getting crushed inside with guilt

 

[Srini]

cant imagine Roger or Rafa calling umpire a thief

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I don’t think anyone is saying don’t come at Serena with penalties, but apply them across the board

 

[kskate2]

Srini. Again it goes down to what is considered rude behavior. She demanded he give her an apology and called him a thief

 

[Federberg]

well said SMG. Exactly

 

[Srini]

agreed but in a match umpire decides what is considered rude

 

[Front242]

Good plan. Nadal would just get the umpire banned

 

[Front242]

that's how weak the ATP are ffs

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Djokovic and Nadal give umpires color langauage a lot and don’t get a warning

 

[kskate2]

So then he should have warned her that she was crossing the line before she went too far

 

[Front242]

banned for enforcing the actual rules

 

[Front242]

imagine that. The cheek of the umpire
