Congrats to Osaka and it's great for tennis. Very well played. That umpire was out of line in my eyes. The point penalty was enough but a game penalty? Serena has never got a coaching violation in her career. Just keep it fair play because she doesn't cheat to win. I wish Serena just not let it get to her and move on though. Should not have lost her cool.
I mean of course, I get that. She perceived it as unfair bc hell, she did not ask to be coached and didn’t even register it at that.She should have let it go but that is easier said than done when your emotions are high and adrenaline is rushing. The majority of the time Serena is able to channel that in to her game she could not. But she played much better the second set and it showed.
Osaka did a great job though and I am happy for her. I hope to see a reach match at AO.
Wilander: "the umpire should have calmed Serena down"
What you want him to end world hunger too?
That moment was exactly that - A MOMENT. Now 10 minutes after she's won it doesn't matter.Now Serena super concerned about Osaka's moment being stolen.
The chair umpire should never be this involved in a match, though. Jeezus... let them play. If that was Roddick or Djokovic... no warning would even have been given except for the racquet smash.
He just told Pam Shriver that he was indeed coaching but Serena shouldn't have been penalized because everyone does it.There is no evidence that she received coaching. It's conjecture.

He said he does it all the time and never was called for a coaching violation ever. EVER.Patrick Mouratglou admitted to coaching and they showed him coaching just now on ESPN.
So yeah, very much justified.
Also @icedevil0289 , since you were asking if Serena did get coaching.
It is irrelevant whether she received coaching, he is not allowed to give her tips even if she is not looking.There is no evidence that she received coaching. It's conjecture.
She had a lousy match, yes! but still you can't take anything away from Osaka, she absolutely dominated and I'm shocked by her composure. She's only 20 years old...
He said that to Pam Shriver immediately after the match when she was interviewing Patrick.Where did he say that
God I hope you never breed.Mothers should stay at home.
