    Tennis Umpires may boycott future Serena matches

    https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/s...inal-fwgv97swz

    Until she apologizes to Ramos for her idiotic and immature outburst.

    This just keeps getting better. Great to see this "I stand up for women's rights" nonsense blowing right up in her face.

    Ok. They can be replaced by 95% of the people sitting in stands and nobody would notice the difference.

    The NFL found out what happens when you hire second rate officials.

    NFL refs play 100x the role in a football game than a tennis umpire does in a tennis match - terrible analogy imo.

    Yeah I'd agree. Other than announcing the scores and telling spectators to be quiet they typically don't tend to do much in a match. You couldn't play an NFL game without refs but you sure can play a pro tennis match without umps. Especially if the court has Hawkeye.

    They need to put bigger fines on players who abuse the refs like NBA does. Cuban has paid millions in fines for criticizing the referees. Players have gotten out of control lately with complaints.

    Why do they even have umps. The video reviews are perfect. Can't they get that in real time?

    Truth is she knew she was about to lose fair and square so she burned it down

    lol she's fat and not interesting person at all. Where the hell does WTA actually needs her. I'd rather watch beauties such as Giorgi or Goerges any day.

    She blew it

    She needs now to hire damage control firm

    She missed 2 great opportunities this year to win slams because all the top seed lost early but next year could be way different and she is older and slower.

    Serena: "I would never cheat, daughter blah blah". This one was the best, and I quote, "Woman's rights and stuff".

    I don't know what she's talking about? It's a tennis match.

    At big tournaments the matches are sold by session and usually has one womens match and one mens match. The men are selling the tickets not Serena. Nobody is there to see Serena stomp around the tennis court whining like a little bitch about sexism when we don't care if she is out there anyway. She should feel lucky that mens tennis is such a draw that makes these tournaments and this cash flow even possible! You think if it was just womens tennis that an event like US open would even exist? You throw millions of dollars at these women that they don't even deserve, but get thanks to mens tennis, and they still cry sexism instead of being appreciative...

    It's sad when the biggest female star in tennis gets treated in this way for voicing her opinion. Let me know when the umpires start boycotting Federer or Nadal (would never happen). The fact that Serena is African-American is all you need to know. At the end of the day, racism still exists. Your accomplishments don't matter to people who see your skin and not the good person you are on the inside. Serena Williams is the only reason why women's tennis is even relevant. Show her some goddamn respect. She's done more for the game of women's tennis than anyone else. Pretty disgusting to see how this situation has played out.

    Serena doesn't know the first thing about women's rights.

    She's a moron and has anger issues.


    Too much testosterone from PEDs?
