18 Takeaways From 2018 US Open
Both the USTA and WTA issued statements supporting Williams charge of sexism.
Williams was fined a total of $17,000 for three code violations during her 6-2, 6-4, loss to 20-year-old
Naomi Osaka
in the US Open final.
US Open tournament referee Brian Earley fined Williams $10,000 for verbal abuse of chair umpire Ramos after the 23-time Grand Slam champion called the veteran chair umpire "a thief" charging he "stole" a point from her.
The Times reports:
An anonymous official told The Times that there was a growing consensus that umpires were not supported by the USTA on several occasions, and that Ramos was thrown to the wolves for simply doing his job and was not willing to be abused for it. Umpires are discussing whether they could take action to stand up for their profession. One suggestion being floated is to refuse any match assignments involving Williams until she apologizes for vilifying Ramos and calling him a “liar” and a “thief”.
