Former Grand Slam champion and BBC presenter Sue Barker says Williams "has a point" in her criticism of the umpire.
"I've sat courtside watching the men ranting at umpires and they haven't been given a violation," said Barker.
12-time Grand Slam champion and all-round tennis legend Billie Jean King has backed Williams.
She said: "When a woman is emotional, she's 'hysterical' and she's penalised for it. When a man does the same, he's 'outspoken' and there are no repercussions.
"Thank you, Serena Williams, for calling out this double standard. More voices are needed to do the same."
I thought Serena overstepped the mark and threw shade on Osaka, tbh.Originally Posted by Tony C

And detracted from the fact she was thrashed. . .
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
I thought her behaviour was totally unacceptable.Former Grand Slam champion and BBC presenter Sue Barker says Williams "has a point" in her criticism of the umpire.

She is one píssy loser eh?
No, it's all to do with sexism, apparently, h. Not because she's a cůnt or anything.
I can only assume she's keeping the racism card up her sleeve for if this really goes bad for her.
Not her, but others are saying this is racist...
