Lots of bad things happened there. But mostly Serena's fault.


A. Let's not lose sight that Osaka was kicking her ass.
B. She lost a point that she didn't think she should have lost and she totally overreacted to it.
C. While she might be right that men have gotten away with worse, it is unclear that this ref allowed it from men.
D. She dropped the woman card and mom card. Kinda cheap IMHO.
E. She called the ref a thief and was yelling at him. You can't do that in almost any sport, let alone tennis. I'm fine with that call even if "coaching from the box" call was lame.
F. The crowd in Ashe was a disgrace. But it wasn't your typical tennis crowd or even US Open crowd. There is a lot of trash fans that have jumped on the Serena bandwagon recently that feel entitled to see "the Queen" break milestones (most majors, being a Mom and winning a major, etc.)
