And the umpire gave Serena plenty of chances to drop it before calling a violation. She kept going on and on and on and on...

You think extended arguments with an umpire that concludes with demanding an apology and calling him a thief wasn't verbal abuse under the rules?
Your tennis experience isn't going to save you on this dumbass opinion.

I am telling you with all my experience I havent found another player I know who thinks the umpire handled this well
Nor have I found one that thinks Serena handled it well

Yes. I can’t specifically recall it off the top of my head as I’ve seen so many matches and there wasn’t anything that prticilulary stood out, but I have seen it before.
And verbal abuse is defined right there in the rule book:

Serena was wrong from the start and wouldn't let it go (likely because she was getting beat). The umpire was probably stricter than the typical umpire would be, but to act the way Serena acted and do what she and her coach did and then try to hide behind claims of sexism, is ridiculous.
