re: Top Serena Williams Angry Moments

The main reason he should be criticized is because of the code violation for coaching. That happens for both sides on pretty much all matches, and probably shouldn’t have been called in the Finals.

and she wasn't penalized for that. She was given a warning. and even told the umpire she understood why he gave her the warning. If she had simply let it be thereafter, she would have had no problems. But she couldn't help herself from breaking her racket after hitting a ball into the net and then went back to the first warning acting like it wasn't fair (breaking her racket had nothing do to with the original warning IMO, it was just a convenient excuse once she realized it was a mandatory point penalty). Even then, she only lost a point, not a huge deal. Well, then she double downed on stupid and continued to berate the umpire. Serena has no one to blame but herself and I hope the umpire never issues an apology for doing his job and not caving to Serena because she's the biggest name in the sport. She acted so damn entitled during that entire episode.

And let's not forget she was getting her arse kicked in the match. IMO that had more do to with all of this and she is using this as her scapegoat like she was cheated out of the win instead of the reality that she got worked by a 20 year old.
