Sighs.......I didn't watch the match, but only saw highlights of the conversation with the chair umpire. But now SW's coach comes out and says he was coaching, but it sounds like they are mostly mad with how the chair umpire addressed the issue? And now SW is saying the chair umpire is sexist.......She's one hell of an athlete, but when that train sometimes falls off, it falls off hard for her. I believe she yelled at a line judge a few years ago at the US Open (may have been 5 or so years ago, cant remember the date).
Wow, I cant believe she is trying to use the gender card as an excuse for her poor sportsmanship and loosing...unbelievable..
Clearly gets coached by her coach (which has has admitted to) and gets a warning, has a little sook and smashed a racket so gets a violation, calls the umpire a thief and get a verbal abuse penalty. And some how she turns this into her championing for women's rights?? The level of delusion is mind boggling....
